Abstract

A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Digital Surface Model (DSM) were derived from airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data collected from Los Alamos National Laboratory’s (LANL) heavy-lift unoccupied aerial system (UAS) quadcopter and hexacopter platforms operated by Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic) scientists from the EES-14 group at LANL. These data were collected in August 2017 and July 2018 at the NGEE Arctic field site near mile marker 27 of the Bob Blodgett Nome–Teller Memorial Highway between Nome, Alaska and Teller, Alaska. A Vulcan Raven X8 Airframe (Mitcheldean, Gloucestershire, UK), DJI Matrice 600 Pro Airframe (Shenzhen, China), and Routescene UAV LiDARSystem (Edinburgh, Scotland, UK) were used to collect LiDAR data. Following pre-processing in Routescene LidarViewer Pro software, the LiDAR point clouds were cleaned and processed using CloudCompare software to separate ground and off-ground points. A high resolution DEM and DSM were then created using ArcGIS Pro software. This data package contains fully cleaned point clouds of ground and off-ground points (.las), a 25 cm DEM (.tif), and a 25 cm DSM (.tif) for the Teller 27 field site. Ancillary aircraft data, flight mission parameters, weather conditions, and raw lidar data and imagery can be found in the L0more »« less

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, NGEE Arctic provided an enhanced knowledge base for multi-scale modeling and contributed to improved process representation at global pan-Arctic scales within the Department of Energy's Earth system Model (the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM), and specifically within the E3SM Land Model component (ELM).},

NGEE Arctic Meteorological Data from Instrumented PCDC Stations, Council Site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, Beginning June 2018

Dataset Krassovski, Misha ; Riggs, Jeff

This dataset provides meteorological data collected at two instrumented Power, Communication, and Data Collection (PCDC) Stations, located at Council Road Mile Marker 71 (CN_MM71) and Council Road Mile Marker 68 (Rocky Top). Measurements began in June of 2018 at CN_MM71 and Rocky Top. Data will be added periodically/annually. Meteorological data include air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and snow depth. Measurements have been aggregated to both 10-minute and 30-minute reporting intervals four comma-separated (*.csv) files. At the CN_MM71 location, daily photographic images (09:00, 12:00, and 15:00 AKST/AKDT) of the PCDC Station and the surrounding landscape that are capturedmore »« 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. This dataset contains one csv file and one pdf file. 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.
