Title: End-of-Winter Snow Depth, Temperature, Density and SWE Measurements at Kougarok Road Site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2018

Abstract

Measurements of snow properties were taken in 2018 at the NGEE Arctic Kougarok field site. This dataset contains spatially distributed values of snow depth, integrated snow pack density, snow water equivalent (SWE), temperature at the snow surface and at the bottom of the snow pack, and snow density as a function of depth from top of snow pack. Data was collected toward the end of the winter season, in late March, when snow pack would be near its maximum. .

End-of-Winter Snow Depth, Temperature, Density and SWE Measurements at Teller Road Site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2016-2018

Dataset Wilson, Cathy ; Bolton, Robert ; Busey, Robert ; ...

Measurements of end-of-winter snow properties were collected at the NGEE Arctic Teller Road Site at mile marker 27 (TL_MM27) for three consecutive years ? 2016, 2017, and 2018. This dataset contains spatially distributed values of snow depth, snow water equivalent (SWE), temperature at the snow surface and at the bottom of the snowpack, and snow density as a function of depth from top of snowpack. Data was collected toward the end of the winter season, typically in late March or early April, when the snowpack would be near its maximum. In 2016, snow depth measurements were taken using either a thawmore »« less
NGEE Arctic Plant Traits: Nitrogen fixation, Kougarok Road Mile Marker 64, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2017-2018

Dataset Salmon, Verity ; Iversen, Colleen

Rates of nitrogen (N) fixation with nodules of Alnus viridis subsp. fruticosa (alder) were measured at the Kougarok hillslope site in July of 2017 and 2018. Rates were calculated following incubation of excised nodules with 15N labeled N2 gas, as described in Anderson et al. (2004). Alder GPS coordinates, height and basal area were also recorded.
Leaf Nitrogen and Carbon Content, and Leaf Mass Per Area, Kougarok Road, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2018

Dataset Serbin, Shawn ; Yang, Dedi ; Ely, Kim

Nitrogen and carbon content, and leaf mass per area (LMA) of leaves sampled from locations on the Kougarok mile marker 64 NGEE Arctic site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Species include: Alnus viridis, Betula nana, Betula glandulosa, Arctous alpine and Salix pulchra. Samples were collected in July 2018. Data package includes leaf chemistry and LMA data, and field photographs.
NGEE Arctic Plant Traits: Soil Depth, Kougarok Road Mile Marker 64, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, Beginning 2016

Dataset Iversen, Colleen ; Breen, Amy ; Salmon, Verity ; ...

Soil depth was measured at the Kougarok site located on the Seward Peninsula using a thaw depth probe inserted into the ground until the point of contact with frozen soil or rock. Measurements were made at vegetation plots, intensive stations, and reference points. Three to four replicate measurements were made during the observation period and the presence of rocks was noted when possible. Dataset DOI: 10.5440/1346198; https://doi.org/10.5440/1346198
Soil Water Chemistry and Water and Nitrogen Isotopes, Teller Road Site and Kougarok Hillslope, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2016 - 2019

Dataset Conroy, Nathan ; Heikoop, Jeff ; Newman, Brent ; ...

Data includes results from soil pore-water ions and isotopes sampled from July 2016 through August 2019 at Kougarok Hillslope at mile marker 64 (KG_MM64), Kougarok Road at mile marker 51 (KG_MM51), and the Teller site at mile marker 27 (TL_MM27) in the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Water was collected using rhizons, wicks, and a sipper. This dataset is used in the Conroy et al., in prep.NGEE Arctic Project SummaryThe Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a 10-year research effort (2012-2022) to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate.more »« less
