LAII Alaska Landscape Flux Survey NOAA/ATDD Long-EZ Aircraft Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS051

Summary
The data in the aircraft portion of the Land Atmosphere Ice Interaction (LAII)
Alaska Landscape Flux Survey (ALFS) were collected in June 1994, June 1995,
August 1995, and June 1996. The object of the effort was to measure remote
sensing variables, the vertical flux density of sensible and latent heat, CO2,
and momentum for extrapolating surface-based measurements to regional scales.
The aircraft operations were conducted from Deadhorse Airport near Prudhoe
Bay, Alaska, and consisted of daytime and nighttime transect flights. The
measured parameters included water vapor, sensible heat, CO2,
Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), and surface reflectances from the
Alaskan North Slope tundra, and were used to study the factors that control
spatial variability of the exchange. Scalar flux densities were measured with
a resolution of approximately 2-3 km. Supporting meteorological parameters
such as temperature, humidity, CO2 and H2O concentrations, wind speed and
direction, surface temperature, incoming and net radiation were also observed.
This study was conducted with the National Science Foundation and San Diego
State University.
