Access External Data    

These data were obtained by running the Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (TEM) with three different climate data sets over the Western Arctic Linkage Experiment (WALE) domain, which includes Alaska and the Yukon Territory. The carbon fluxes were compared with fluxes from the Biome-BGC model, and the water fluxes were compared with fluxes from the pan-Arctic Water Balance Model (PWBM).

Data coverage is from 1980 through 2001. The data consist of fourteen binary file downloads, containing monthly gridded output in EASE-Grid format. Variables include gross primary production (GPP), net primary productivity (NPP), heterotrophic respiration, carbon flux, evapotranspiration, runoff, and soil moisture.

PLEASE NOTE: These data and documentation files have not undergone the normal ADCC quality control procedures. This data set will not receive routine NSIDC User Services support until ADCC staff have completely prepared the data for publication. Until this disclaimer has been removed, users should send questions and comments about this data set to nsidc@nsidc.org. NSIDC will forward these inquiries to the PI for resolution.

These data are archived at the Western Arctic Linkage Experiment (WALE) data site.
