Salt marsh restored in 2018 by adding soil to raise 61 acres of former salt marsh to an elevation that allows marsh plants to return and keep pace with projected sea level rise. Marsh is mostly bare soil and tidal channels. Marsh is flooded and drained diurnally. See MoreShow Less |

As an important component of the global water cycle and climate system, evapotranspiration directly affects the distribution and variability of regional and global water resources. Therefore, accurate assessment and understanding of spatial and temporal changes in ET is important for climate change research, water resources management and ecosystem monitoring. | 1 |

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 .

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 US-EKH, 36.8094, -121.7523.
Click a square in the grid at left to display its data below.
