Description
Summary:Data includes remote sensing products from PhotoSpec (a scanning spectrometer) from August 2019-December 2020. We provide daily averaged vegetation indices for a mix of understory lichen and moss species in a black spruce dominated forest. We compute near-infrared vegetation index (NIRv), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), photochemical reflectance index (PRI), and chlorophyll-carotenoid index (CCI) averaged for three understory targets at NEON Delta Junction. We also provide daily averaged photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and solar zenith angle (SZA). Finally, we provide the average diurnal profiles of all the aforementioned metrics for 4 20-day windows in winter, spring, summer, and fall.
