Description:
|
- Photometer is mounted on the SW Corner of the NEON observation tower. Tower is metal frame, 26' tall. NOTE: the tower height is NOT included in the elevation stated above in part d. (BARR - Barrow Environmental Observatory) The immediate Barrow region is dominated by sedge/grass moss wetland. The landscape consists of polygonized tundra, vegetated drained lake basins, ponds and lakes. Vegetation types include aquatic, seasonally flooded, wet, moist, dry and occasionally bare ground. The Barrow area is of special interest because only a few kilometers inland from the Arctic Ocean, anthropogenic and maritime influences diminish, the summer climate ameliorates, land cover becomes more diverse and species diversity increases dramatically.
