Abstract

Thaw depth, soil moisture, and vegetation height sampled from locations on the Teller MM27, Kougarok MM80, and Kougarok MM82 NGEE-Arctic sites, Seward Peninsula, Alaska. These data were collected in support of the ongoing NGEE-Arctic and NASA ABoVE data synthesis work. Samples were collected in July 2022, including 6 transects covering the entire Teller MM27 watershed and 4 transects covering 4 thaw ponds at Kougarok MM80 and MM82. This data package includes sample information and thaw depth, soil moisture, vegetation height data (.csv). Metadata files include data descriptions (_dd.csv) for tabular data and file level metadata (.csv). The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research. The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska. Through observations, experiments, and synthesis with existing datasets, NGEEmore »« less

Shrub Heights at the Teller 27 and Kougarok 64 Field Sites, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2021

Dataset Dillard, Shannon ; Bennett, Katrina ; Farley, Margaret

As shrubs become more widespread across the Arctic, there is increasing focus on their influence over snow accumulation and soil moisture. To better characterize shrub heights based on landscape position, proximity to surface waters, and species, shrub heights were measured with a differential GPS (dGPS) at the Teller 27 and Kougarok 64 field sites on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Measurements were collected between September 12th through 16th, 2021. Shrub heights were calculated by subtracting the maximum height of the canopy from the ground elevation. Some of the shrub heights collected were co-located with iButton (i.e., K45, B8) and Tiny Tagmore »« less
Volumetric Soil Moisture Measurements at the Teller 27 Site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2022-2023

Dataset Dillard, Shannon ; Thomas, Lauren ; Thaler, Evan ; ...

The Teller 27 watershed on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, has been well characterized by the NGEE Arctic project. The study site is underlain by discontinuous permafrost that is thawing as the climate warms. As a result, the site is experiencing a short-term wetting trend as a perched water table above the remaining permafrost provides plant available water during the growing season. Soil moisture patterns drive microbial activity and plant species compositions including plant density and height. This study aimed to understand how soil moisture patterns were influenced by tundra microtopography. To accomplish this, we placed a strategic network of soilmore »« less
Canopy spectral reflectance, Kougarok and Teller sites, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2016

Dataset Serbin, Shawn ; Rogers, Alistair

Measurements of full-spectrum (350-2500 nm) canopy spectral reflectance of Arctic plant species at the Teller and Kougarok NGEE-Arctic sites, Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Spectra were collected in July 2016 using an SVC HR-2014i spectroradiometer together with a Spectralon white plate to calibrate each measurement under variable illumination conditions. The locations of the 43 measurement targets are provided as latitude and longitude recorded by the spectroradiometer internal GPS. This data package comprises .csv data and metadata files, and the SVC instrument output (.sig in .zip).

In Situ Soil Moisture and Thaw Depth Measurements Coincident with Airborne SAR Data Collections, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2019

Dataset Wilson, Cathy ; Lathrop, Emma ; Bolton, Robert ; ...

The in-situ soil moisture and thaw depth measurements provided in this dataset were collected coincident with airborne overflights of L- and P-band SAR instruments at the Teller and Kougarok NGEE Arctic study sites on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Field measurements and flights were conducted in August 2019 as a collaboration between the NASA ABoVE Project's Airborne SAR Campaign and the NGEE Arctic Project. ABoVE protocols for establishing field measurement plots were followed. NGEE Arctic plots for the ground-based measurements are located at existing study sites where SAR data would also add value to current monitoring and characterization efforts of the NGEEmore »« less
Leaf Area Index (LAI) of vegetation at the Teller site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2017
