TFS EDC’s Baseline Climate Monitoring Program J. Cherry Jessica Cherry, Research Assistant Professor, University of Alaska Fairbanks Collaborators: Amy Jacobs, Greta Myerchin-Tape, Bob Busey, Forest Kirst, Konosuke Sugiura, and TFS Staff (thanks!)

Goals of the Meteorological Station Management Team F. Kirst Working to deliver the best available data to the users, in a reasonable amount of time Working to maintain the consistency of the instrument record at the site Working to follow best practices in the field Working to evaluate and improve data management, particularly metadata

Ways to Access Data TFS website: Current Conditions graphs and tables (15 days) Longspur: ftp access to raw data (w.y.s.i.w.y.g.) Via email: raw .xls spreadsheet on request at end of field season TFS website: SQL searchable database after first level QA/QC LTER website: .xls and .csv files available after first level QA/QC ALCC website: SQL searchable database with all regional data, after first level QA/QC

Issues and concerns Little sensor redundancy at this time Some inconsistency with sensor type/location over time Had impact on ability to see climate trends at site Sensor failures hard to diagnose without redundancy Camp development impacting climate record ? Spatial Variability unknown Precipitation particularly unconstrained Limited capacity for new sensors Tower itself is rusting, may need replacement Loss of funding for valuable snow surveys in Imnavait Basin Improve communication with the data users

Recent Progress Auxiliary ‘snow research station’ installed 2011 F. Kirst Auxiliary ‘snow research station’ installed 2011 ‘Strategic Plan for Long-term Snow Monitoring in and around Toolik Field Station and Imnavait Basin’ written in Feb 2012 Planned tower upgrades in Sept 2012 will add capacity and help sustain long-term measurements Upgrades to website and database will help improve communication with the data users Completion of ‘Climate’ chapter of Toolik monograph provides a better understanding of climate records in the region

Future Vision Data Integration (historical physical measurements in and around TFS) Development of Value-Added Products such as regional gridded temperature and precip fields Synthesis with imagery and distributed datasets Recent collections include airborne RGB photography with resolution of 4 cm or greater and corresponding thermal infrared (IR)
