Application Of Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar To Monitoring Seasonal Ecological And Hydrologic Processes In Boreal Forest, Kyle Mcdonald, John Kimball, A R. Keyser, S W. Running, Steve Frolking, Reiner Zimmermann, Jobea Way Dec 1999

Application Of Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar To Monitoring Seasonal Ecological And Hydrologic Processes In Boreal Forest, Kyle Mcdonald, John Kimball, A R. Keyser, S W. Running, Steve Frolking, Reiner Zimmermann, Jobea Way

Earth Sciences

Freezehaw transitions in boreal landscapes drive critical dynamics in ecosystem and hydrologic activity. A capability for accurate, repeated, and reliable monitoring of landscape freezekhaw dynamics would improve our ability to quantify the interannual variability ofboreal hydrology and river runoff/flood dynamics and to assess the period of photosynthetic activity in boreal and arctic ecosystems, thus improving estimates of annual carbon budgets and of the interannual variability of regional carbon fluxes. Results from BOREAS experiments have indicated that the boreal forest has a net annual carbon flux near zero. A first step in assessing and monitoring year-to-year changes in the boreal carbon …

Net Ecosystem Productivity And Its Uncertainty In A Diverse Boreal Peatland, Jill L. Bubier, Steve Frolking, P Crill, Ernst Linder Nov 1999

Net Ecosystem Productivity And Its Uncertainty In A Diverse Boreal Peatland, Jill L. Bubier, Steve Frolking, P Crill, Ernst Linder

Earth Sciences

Net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2 was measured in four peatlands along plant community, hydrologic, and water chemistry gradients from bog to rich fen in a diverse peatland complex near Thompson, Manitoba, as part of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS). A simple model for estimating growing season net ecosystem productivity (NEP) using continuous measurements of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and peat temperature was constructed with weekly chamber measurements of NEE from May to October 1996. The model explained 79–83% of the variation in NEE across the four sites. Model estimation and parameter uncertainty calculations were performed using nonlinear regression …


Using The Space-Borne Nasa Scatterometer (Nscat) To Determine The Frozen And Thawed Seasons, Steve Frolking, Kyle Mcdonald, John Kimball, S W. Running, R Zimmermann Nov 1999

Using The Space-Borne Nasa Scatterometer (Nscat) To Determine The Frozen And Thawed Seasons, Steve Frolking, Kyle Mcdonald, John Kimball, S W. Running, R Zimmermann

Earth Sciences

We hypothesize that the strong sensitivity of radar backscatter to surface dielectric properties, and hence to the phase (solid or liquid) of any water near the surface should make space-borne radar observations a powerful tool for large-scale spatial monitoring of the freeze/thaw state of the land surface, and thus ecosystem growing season length. We analyzed the NASA scatterometer (NSCAT) backscatter from September 1996 to June 1997, along with temperature and snow depth observations and ecosystem modeling, for three BOREAS sites in central Canada. Because of its short wavelength (2.14 cm), NSCAT was sensitive to canopy and surface water. NSCAT had …


Recent Laboratory Tests Of A Hard X-Ray Solar Flare Polarimeter, Mark L. Mcconnell, John R. Macri, M Mcclish, Jack Ryalls Nov 1999

Recent Laboratory Tests Of A Hard X-Ray Solar Flare Polarimeter, Mark L. Mcconnell, John R. Macri, M Mcclish, Jack Ryalls

Space Science Center

We report on the development of a Compton scatter polarimeter for measuring the linear polarization of hard X-rays (50 - 300 keV) from solar flares. Such measurements would be useful for studying the directivity (or beaming) of the electrons that are accelerated in solar flares. We initially used a simple prototype polarimeter to successfully demonstrate the reliability of our Monte Carlo simulation code and to demonstrate our ability to generate a polarized photon source in the lab. We have recently fabricated a science model based on a modular design concept that places a self-contained polarimeter module on the front-end of …
