Site Coordinates and Elevation:

  • Latitude: 46.76972° North
  • Longitude: 100.91535° West
  • Elevation: 578.0 Meters

Site 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. (NOGP - Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service) The tower is located approximately 8 km south of Mandan, ND. The ecosystem is grazed grassland around tower site and within tower airshed. Canopy height is ~0.4 m. Ground coverage is 100%. LAI is estimated to be ~ 2. Some small bushes are at site with height < 1 m. Several cattle enclosures are inside the field with height around 1 -1.2 m. The enclosure fences are just wires and very open for wind flows. We do not expect large impacts of the enclosures on local wind patterns. Surrounding fields are mostly grazed perennial grasslands, but also include some cropland (although the cropland areas can likely be converted to perennial grasslands if requested).
