Initialized in April of 2007, the KCMP Tall Tower is one of the tallest towers in the AmeriFlux network, mounted on the 240 m high Minnesota Public Radio, 89.3FM "The Current" radio tower. Since 2007 we have been measuring a variety of species including carbon dioxide (and isotopes) water vapor (and isotopes) and methane. Our current work is focused on improving our understanding of the reactive nitrogen (i.e. nitrous oxide and ammonia) budget for the region. Great appreciation is given to Minnesota Public Radio KCMP 89.3FM for the use of their tower. 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 US-KCM, 44.6886, -93.0728.
Click a square in the grid at left to display its data below.
