FIU – Balancing the Field, Lab, and Office
National Observatory with 20 Domains
NEON Terrestrial Site Schematic
NEON Terrestrial Sensors
• Tower and Soil Array at all 60 sites
• 37 Instrument Assemblies• Over 2000 measurements per
core site at frequencies of daily, and ~0.1 to 40 Hz– Meteorology– Radiation– Atmospheric Chemistry and
Air Quality– Dust and Aerosols– Fluxes of CO2, H2O, and
Energy– Soil Measurements
FIU Measurement Scales
Physical Infrastructure
Soil Sampling
Soil Archive
Mobile Deployment Platform
• Development in 2014• PI requestable• Mobile and rapidly deployable• Campaign based measurements ~ 1 year• NEON support (at some level)• MDP will include various modules which can be mixed to
meet needs of research. Potential modules include:– Micrometeorology– Atmospheric chemistry– Ecohydrology– Soil Ecology
