Title: Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence/eddy covariance measurements at NGEE Arctic Council site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2022

Abstract

Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is emitted from the chlorophyll antenna complexes during the light harvesting and photophysical reactions of photosynthesis. It is directly coupled with and therefore can be used to estimate photosynthetic electron transport and CO2 assimilation. SIF, when observed at the ecosystem level, provides information about ecosystem functions that complements the net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2, CH4, water vapor, and sensible heat. NEE observations have been conducted with the eddy covariance (EC) approach at the NGEE Arctic Council, Alaska site for years. However, concurrent SIF observations have not been available. In June 2022, we installed the fluorescence automated measurement equipment (FAME) at the NGEE Arctic Council site. The zip file contains 3,187 *.dat files that can be opened with a text editor or in *.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 Northmore » 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).« less
