This data is a part of the Arctic Observing Network sites in northern Alaska under the project title: Arctic Observing Networks: Collaborative Research: ITEX (International Tundra Experiment) AON (Arctic Observing Network) - understanding the relationships between vegetation change, plant phenology, and ecosystem function in a warming Arctic. These files represent spectral reflectance data measured near-daily within a 2m X 50m tundra vegetation monitoring transect in Imnavait Creek, Alaska. This sensor trolley platform is known as the Mobile Instrumented Sensor Platform (MISP) and formerly known as the Networked Info-Mechanical System. The sensor trolley was equipped with instruments for recording the distance to vegetation canopy (SR50a Sonic Distance, Campbell Scientific), up- and downwelling short- and longwave radiation (CNR4 net radiometer, Kipp and Zonen), air temperature and surface temperature (SI-111 IR radiometer, Apogee Instruments Inc.) and spectral reflection (Jaz Combo-2, Ocean Optics; GreenSeeker RT100). This dataset contains MISP measurements from Imnavait Creek.
