Images captured using a StarDot NetCam SC phenocamera looking east from the top of the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) Sled Shed, Utqiaġvik, Alaska. The camera was installed to remotely monitor plant phenology and operation of the BNL TEST group's ZPW (Zero Power Warming) chambers during the growing season of 2018. Images were captured from early spring (13 April) through to mid fall (18 October). Snowmelt, vegetation growth and senescence, and snow accumulation were captured. Images were uploaded to the BNL FTP server every hour until 16 June, and then every 10 minutes. Files were renamed with the date and time of the image. jpg images have been compressed in *.tar.gz format (7.9 GB). Different fields of view (northeasterly) were also captured using 3 Wingscapes TimelapseCam cameras mounted on a mast on the sled shed. Images were recorded from 21 June to 24 September, 2018, at 30 minute intervals, from 11:00 – 14:30, Alaska daylight time (AKDT, UTC-8).The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic ...
