6. NEON Terrestrial Sensors
jtaylor@neoninc.org 6
• Tower and Soil Array at all 60
sites
• 37 Instrument Assemblies
• Over 2000 measurements per
core site at frequencies of
daily, and ~0.1 to 40 Hz
– Meteorology
– Radiation
– Atmospheric Chemistry and
Air Quality
– Dust and Aerosols
– Fluxes of CO2, H2O, and
Energy
– Soil Measurements
11. Mobile Deployment Platform
jtaylor@neoninc.org 11
• Development in 2014
• PI requestable
• Mobile and rapidly deployable
• Campaign based measurements ~ 1 year
• NEON support (at some level)
• MDP will include various modules which can be mixed to
meet needs of research. Potential modules include:
– Micrometeorology
– Atmospheric chemistry
– Ecohydrology
– Soil Ecology
