Description: | RC3 operated from 2011-2016 at the Washington State University Lind Dryland Experimental Station, as part of a cluster of 5 towers (RC1 to RC5) operated ... RC3 operated from 2011-2016 at the Washington State University Lind Dryland Experimental Station, as part of a cluster of 5 towers (RC1 to RC5) operated for the Regional Approaches to Climate Change (REACCH) USDA-supported research project. Lind is in the low precipitation region of the Columbia Plateau dryland cropping region. The area is characterized as a stable crop-fallow agroecological zone, with crops typically grown every second year to allow soil water to accumulate during intervening fallow years. Winter wheat was grown August 2012-August 2013, and August 2014-July 2015. The growing seasons of 2012 and 2014 were fallow years. Soils at Lind are predominantly silt loam texture Mollisols in the Shano and Ritzville series. Site topography is flat. 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-RC3, 46.991, -118.598.
