The ORNL DAAC released 26 new data sets from the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) on November 12 and 16, 1999. These releases bring the total number of published BOREAS data sets to 212.

Six new data sets from the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) were released by the ORNL DAAC on October 15, 1999. The release brings the total number to 186 data sets currently available.

The soil data at the ORNL DAAC are used primarily as site characteristics for terrestrial biogeochemistry models. The goal is to have data sets that contain the following variables:

The ORNL DAAC has recently made additional climate data available. Please return to our main page and search under Data Available for the data of interest.

ACCP - The Accelerated Canopy Chemistry Program (ACCP) was an investigation to determine the theoretical and empirical basis for remote sensing of nitrogen and lignin concentrations in vegetation canopies of different ecosystems.

The ORNL DAAC has recently made additional hydroclimatology data available. Please return to our main page and search under Data Available for the data of interest.

The ORNL DAAC has recently made the Matthews Global Vegetation Data available.

The climate data at the ORNL DAAC are used primarily as driving variables in terrestrial biogeochemistry models.

UPGRADE - On Monday, March 8, 1999, the ORNL DAAC operational system will be unavailable because of a system upgrade. We expect to be operational again by late Monday afternoon. Please check this hotnews again for updates.

VEMAP-1 Database - The Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project (VEMAP) is an ongoing multiinstitutional, international effort addressing the response of biogeography and biogeochemistry to environmental variability in climate and other drivers in both space and time domains.
