Three new datasets from NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) program describe photosynthesis at Niwot Ridge, Colorado.
CLM Simulated Solar-Induced Fluorescence, Niwot Ridge, Colorado, USA, 1998-2018
This dataset provides results for simulations of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) implemented within the terrestrial biosphere Community Land Model (CLM 4.5) for Niwot Ridge, Colorado, USA, from 1998-2018.
Conifer Needle Chlorophyll Fluorescence, Niwot Ridge, Colorado, USA, 2017-2018
This dataset provides chlorophyll fluorescence measurements made on pine and spruce needle tissues at the Niwot Ridge AmeriFlux Core site (US-NR1) near Nederland, Colorado, USA, during the summers of 2017 and 2018.
Conifer Needle Pigment Composition, Niwot Ridge, Colorado, USA, 2017-2018
This dataset provides concentrations of pigments in pine and spruce needle tissues collected at the Niwot Ridge AmeriFlux Core site (US-NR1) near Nederland, Colorado, USA, during the summers of 2017 and 2018.
NASA's CMS is designed to make significant contributions in characterizing, quantifying, understanding, and predicting the evolution of global carbon sources and sinks through improved monitoring of carbon stocks and fluxes. The System uses NASA satellite observations and modeling/analysis capabilities to establish the accuracy, quantitative uncertainties, and utility of products for supporting national and international policy, regulatory, and management activities.
