Vegetation Warming Experiment: Chamber and ambient plot digital camera imagery for vegetation phenology, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2019

Time lapse photography of experimental plots within five warming chambers (ZPWs) and paired control plots located on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO), Utqiagvik, Alaska. Images were recorded from 21 June to 25 September, 2019 to capture vegetation dynamics during the growing season. Vegetation phenology, including green up and senescence were captured. Images were recorded daily at 30 minute intervals, from 09:00 - 16:30 Alaska daylight time (AKDT, UTC-8), using Wingscapes TimelapseCam cameras. The target species was Eriophorum angustifolium. Image files (.jpg) captured by Wingscapes TimelapseCams, compressed as zip files. Additional information in *.pdf and *.csv files. The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research. The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska. Through observations, experiments, and synthesis with existing datasets, NGEE Arctic provided an enhanced knowledge base for multi-scale modeling and contributed to improved process representation at global pan-Arctic scales within the Department of Energy's Earth system Model (the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM), and specifically within the E3SM Land Model component (ELM).

Vegetation Warming Experiment: Chamber and ambient plot digital camera imagery for vegetation phenology, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2017

Time lapse photography (*.jpg) of experimental plots within five warming chambers (ZPWs) and paired control plots located on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO), Barrow (now Utqiagvik), Alaska. Images were recorded from 21 June to 18 September, 2017 to capture vegetation dynamics during the growing season. Vegetation phenology, including green up and senescence were captured. Images were recorded daily at 30 minute intervals, from 11:00-14:30 Alaska daylight time (AKDT, UTC-8), using Wingscapes TimelapseCam cameras. The target species was Petasites frigidus. Also included multiple metadata files including reporting formats as *.pdf and *.csv files.

Vegetation Warming Experiment: Chamber and ambient plot digital camera imagery for vegetation phenology, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2018

Time lapse photography of experimental plots within five warming chambers (ZPWs) and paired control plots located on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO), Utqiagvik, Alaska. Images were recorded from 17 June to 24 September, 2018 to capture vegetation dynamics during the growing season. Vegetation phenology, including green up and senescence were captured. Images are *.jpg files recorded daily at 30 minute intervals, from 11:00 - 14:30 Alaska daylight time (AKDT, UTC-8), using Wingscapes TimelapseCam cameras. The target species was Arctagrostis latifolia. Additional information in *.pdf and *.csv files.

Vegetation Warming Experiment: Landscape-scale digital camera imagery for vegetation phenology, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2017

Images captured using a StarDot NetCam SC phenocamera looking east from the top of the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) Sled Shed, Barrow (now Utqiagvik), Alaska. The camera was installed to remotely monitor plant phenology and operation of the BNL TEST group's ZPW (Zero Power Warming) chambers during the growing season of 2017. Images were captured from early spring (24 April) through to late fall (15 November). Snowmelt, vegetation growth and senescence, and snow accumulation were captured. Images were uploaded to the BNL FTP server every 10 minutes. jpg images have been compressed in *.tar.gz format (12.1 GB) and additional information in *.pdf and *.txt files.

LSST Commissioning Camera

The LSST Commissioning Camera (LSSTComCam) was mounted on the Simonyi Survey Telescope in August 2022 and observed for seven weeks in late 2024 until it was removed from the telescope in December 2024. It is a smaller, fully functional version of LSSTCam, with only the central raft of 9 4k x 4k CCDs (all ITL sensors) and comprising 144 megapixels. Every CCD has 16 amplifiers, each reading 1 million pixels. LSSTComCam was designed to enable end-to-end testing of the observatory’s systems, including data acquisition, image processing, and observatory operations.

Camera shutter is actuated by electric signal

Rotary solenoid energized by an electric signal opens a camera shutter, and when the solenoid is de-energized a spring closes it. By the use of a microswitch, the shutter may be opened and closed in one continuous, rapid operation when the solenoid is actuated.

System selects framing rate for spectrograph camera

Circuit using zero-order light is reflected to a photomultiplier in the incoming radiation of a spectrograph monitor to provide an error signal which controls the advancing and driving rate of the film through the camera.

Planetary camera control improves microfiche production

Microfiche is prepared using an automatic control system for a planetary camera. The system provides blank end-of-row exposures and signals card completion so the legend of the next card may by photographed.

New television camera eliminates vidicon tube

Small, lightweight camera systems use solid state imaging devices in the form of phototransistor mosaic sensors instead of vidicon tubes for light sensing and image conversion. The digital logic circuits scan the sensor mosaic at 60 frames per second to produce pictures composed of a series of dots rather than lines.
