- UPDATED STAFF -- The SSA-OJP surface met modelling data set. For the times 208:0215-231:1845, the original diffuse shortwave and incoming longwave measurements were substituted with SSA-OA data due to instrument failure. For the times 315:1945-322:0000, the original incoming longwave measurements were substituted with SSA-OA data due to instrument failure. -- View a List of Data Files

- NEW STAFF -- NSA Soils Bulk Density data. -- View the Data File
- NEW TE-9B -- These files contain the diurnal vairability of FPAR in NSA for the OJP, YJP, YAS, OAS, OBS flux towers and the TE-black spruce site. -- View a List of Data Files
- DATA NOTE TF-3 -- Data at NSA-OBS are currently being reprocessed with PI-certified data available approximately Feb 1, 1996. Snapshots of the reprocessed data show differences with the prelimary data currently in BORIS typically in the range 20-40%, and larger in the case of latent heat fluxes. Investigators are cautioned against using preliminary data to validate or select parameters for models.
November 21, 1995
- NEW AFM-7 -- Data from Suite A October 1995 and some of Suite B October 1995 -- View a List of Data Files
- UPDATED AFM-7 -- Soil Temperatures #1 and #2 from The Pas (TP) from 19-JUN-95 through the present and from Lynn Lake (LL) from 22-SEP-95 through the present have been changed to -999 for the times when the values were incorrect due to sensor error. The sensors will be replaced in the Spring 1996 after the ground thaws. Note that this is not the SOIL_TEMPERATURE 10cm, 20cm, 50cm columns!! It is the two columns at the end of the table that will be used later to calculate soil moisture. -- View a List of Data Files
