Micrometeorological monitoring has taken place at the site MM1 since 2000. In 2011 an energy balance mast was put up about five meters East of the existing eddy covariance mast. The mast is located on a well drained Cassiope heath, about 150 meters North of the Climate station (operated by ClimateBasis). Data is recorded every half hour. Flux monitoring:Flux monitoring GeoBasis Zackenberg:The GeoBasis monitoring programme focuses on selected abiotic characteristics in order to describe the state of Greenlandic terrestrial environments and their potential feedback effects in a changing climate. Monitored plot data is up-scaled to a landscape level and is used to improve ecosystem models to be able to quantify these feedback mechanisms. The GeoBasis programme provides an active response to recommendations in international assessments such as ACIA and SWIPA; and is continuously being adapted based on AMAP and other international founded recommendations. Furthermore, the GeoBasis programme is directly involved ...
