Site Coordinates and Elevation:

  • Latitude: 33.40123° North
  • Longitude: 97.57000° West
  • Elevation: 259.0 Meters

Site Description:
  • Photometer is mounted on the SW Corner of the NEON observation tower. Tower is metal frame, 72' tall. NOTE: the tower height is NOT included in the elevation stated above in part d. (CLBJ - Caddo-LBJ  National Grassland) The LBJ Grasslands is 16,800 acres of land managed by the US Forest Service under the US Department of Agriculture. The LBJ National Grassland has fairly flat terrain and consists of a mosaic of crosstimbers (oak-dominated) forest and grasslands. The ecosystem in the vicinity of the tower (including the airshed) is oak-dominated forest with a dense understory of vines with large thorns and other deciduous trees, which makes walking around the site challenging. Note, poison ivy and ticks can be present. The site is (managed) burned every 3-5 years. Cattle sometimes graze this area, but it is unlikely that they enter the forest due to the dense understory (except following a fire when the understory is more open). The site lies in a temperate humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cfa), with frequent variations in weather daily and seasonally, except during the consistently hot and humid summer months. The average annual precipitation is 36.8 inches with an average summer high temperature of 94°F and average winter low temperature of 27°F. There is a rich legacy of land use, ranging back to the mid-19th century. Currently, LBJ Grasslands are used for recreation and hunting, livestock grazing, and fossil fuel extraction.
