The tower was located at the “Dr. Alfredo Barrera Marín” Botanical Garden. The surface monitored is covered with basin mangrove (sporadically flooded wetland) that grows in a fringe parallel to the northeastern coast (ca. 1 km) of the Yucatan Peninsula. The dominant species are Rhizophora mangle and Conocarpus erectus, which grow intertwined and relatively stunted (max tree height is 5m). Under the influence of trade winds and frequent stroms. The vegetation is regenerating after complete defoliation due to hurricane Wilma (cat. 4) passing in October 2005. The site is sporadically flooded by rainfall soil saturation excess; there are no marine surface water inputs but ground water level fluctuations show tidal signals. The terrain of the monitored surface is flat, while the area downwind of the tower presents a slope which corresponds to an ancient coast line. There is extensive urban development in the coastal dune along the coast mainly for tourism use (Mayan Riviera). See MoreShow Less |

PhenoCam Images and Derived Time Series Data
PhenoCams are high-resolution digital cameras that take repeated images of studied ecosystems and provide quantitative information about the canopy phenology. The PhenoCam Network coordinates the camera installation and data reporting/analyses across sites in the Americas, providing automated, near-surface remote sensing of canopy phenology across a range of ecosystems and climate zones. Use of PhenoCam images / data should follow the PhenoCam Data Use Policy .
No PhenoCam data for this siteGeoNEX Data Products
GeoNEX led by NASA Earth eXchange (NEX) is a collaborative effort for generating Earth monitoring products from the new generation of geostationary satellite sensors. GeoNEX has produced a suite of geostationary data products including surface reflectance, land surface temperature, surface solar radiation, and many others.
The GeoNEX Common Grid locates GeoNEX data in the geographic (latitude/longitude) projection. Pixels (grid cells) are created at regular 0.005°, 0.01°, and 0.02° resolutions.
GeoNEX pixels below cover the area 0.06° x 0.06° around and including site MX-PMm, 20.8462, -86.8992.
