Dataset specification

  • Title: ClimateBasis Nuuk - Radiation - Relative vegetation index (RVI, 660 nm), 200 cm
  • Description: Relative vegetation index (RVI) (wavelength 660 nm) measured on two proximal climate stations at 200 cm above ground as a 5min average (µmol/sec.m2). The double masted climate station is located between Badesø and Langsø at 40 m a.s.l.. The timeseries starts in 2012. Quality control is performed on both datasets from the double mast system. The combined time series is calculated as an average of the 2 sensors, or if data is missing from 1 sensor the other used in conjunction with a regression. Please read the metadata file provided with the data for comments related to the data in this timeseries. Radiation:Radiation ClimateBasis Nuuk:The ClimateBasis programme monitors climate and hydrology in Zackenberg, Kobbefjord and Disko (Qeqertarsuaq) and is run by Asiaq - Greenland Survey. The collected data build base-line information on climate variability and trends for all the other sub-programmes within GEM and serve as a trustworthy foundation for adaptation strategies for the Greenlandic society. The stations are embedded in Asiaq’s extensive climate and hydrology monitoring network. Furthermore, the run-off data is delivered to the World Hydrological Cycle Observing System (WHYCOS) and the Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC) networks.
