FIFE Follow-On Project Description
FIFE Follow-On - The First ISLSCP (International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project) Field Experiment (FIFE) project conducted field studies on a prairie site in Kansas, USA, from 1987 to 1989. The FIFE Follow-On work included additional analyses of data collected during the initial field campaigns and additional field measurements. The objectives of both FIFE and FIFE Follow-On were to understand the biophysical processes controlling the fluxes of radiation, moisture, and carbon dioxide between the land surface and the atmosphere, and to develop remote-sensing methodologies for observing these processes. Characteristics: 1. Spatial: 15 x 15 km area; Konza Prairie Natural Research Area near Manhattan, Kansas, USA 2. Temporal: 1987-1993; periodic intensive field campaigns 3. Data Themes: micrometeorological observations, atmospheric conditions, and surface biophysical measurements 4. Project Status: follow-on data are being added 5. Data Availability: data available through the BIOME and X-Windows interfaces For more information, link to http://www-eosdis.ornl.gov/FIFE/Follow_On/followon.html |
