| Summary: | In contribution to the Arctic Observing Network (AON), the researchers have established two observatories of landscape-level carbon, water and energy balances at Imnaviat Creek, Alaska and at Pleistocene Park near Cherskii, Russia. These will form part of a network of obervatories with Abisko (Sweden), Zackenburg (Greenland) and a location in the Canadian High Arctic which will provide further data points as part of the International Polar Year. This particular part of the project focuses on simultaneous measurements of carbon, water and energy fluxes of the terrestrial landscape at hourly, daily, seasonal and multi-year time scales. These are the major regulatory drivers of the Arctic climate system and form key linkages and feedbacks between the land surface, the atmosphere and the oceans. In support of these objectives, a new 32m tower was deployed in Pleistocene Park, about 20km south of North-East Science Station in Cherskii, Russia. This station is currently measuring fluxes of carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor and energy in addition to other meteorological variables. |
