Description
Summary:Aerial photographs were collected during the 2016 and 2017 growing seasons at each Mobile Instrumented System Platform (MISP) located at Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska as well as in Atqasuk, Alaska. Most of the pictures taken are high resolution, however only a few are lacking good quality. The date, start and end flight times (local), the people present, cloud conditions, ground wind speed, weather conditions, height of rig, average kite angle, and the camera and kite used were recorded. These measurements are part of the Arctic Observing Network (AON) - International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) initiative and help to document seasonal changes in surface moisture and structure at high spatial scales.
