The ORNL DAAC released 11 additional data sets from the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) on March 24.

The newest data sets include meteorological data as well as terrestrial ecology data related to forest cover and soil characteristics.

BOREAS was an intensive remote-sensing and field study of a Canadian boreal forest. Investigators measured exchanges of energy, water, heat, carbon dioxide, and trace gases between the forest and the atmosphere from 1993 to 1996.

The ORNL DAAC released 12 new data sets from the Boreal Ecosystem/Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) on January 27. This release brings the total number of published BOREAS data sets to 247.

The newest data are related to upper air fluxes and meteorology, remote sensing images, aircraft flight information, and tower flux data.

The ORNL DAAC released 12 new data sets from the Boreal Ecosystem/Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) on December 17. This release brings the total number of published BOREAS data sets to 235.

The newest data sets contain remote sensing images, modeling results, and terrestrial ecology measurements.

Another 13 study sites, plus three worldwide data sets, have been added to the global terrestrial Net Primary Production (NPP) reference database. The NPP database has been compiled by Dick Olson and Jonathan Scurlock under the auspices of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme, with funding from the Terrestrial Ecology Program of NASA's Office of Earth Science.
