NGEE Arctic Tram: Periodic Soil CO2 and CH4 Flux Chamber Measurements across Polygonal Tundra, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2014-2017

Soil chamber flux measurements made from a 2014-2017 adjacent to the TRAM system, with measurements referenced to TRAM stop numbers. Dataset includes measurements using transparent and opaque chambers (CO2 and CH4 fluxes in light and dark). The Tram location was selected to be in the footprint of the NGEE Arctic AmeriFlux tower (US-NGB). Measurement stop positions are at 0.5 m intervals (1-137) over the 68 m Tram track. Dataset includes one CSV data file and one user guide in PDF. 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).

Mobile measurement of CH4 around the SGP ARM site during June 23-26, 2024

A mobile measurement campaign from June 23-26, 2024 was conducted to detect and quantify CH₄ emissions within about 8 km of the SGP site. Using a LI-COR LI-7810 tracer gas analyzer mounted on a vehicle, we sampled CH₄ along predefined routes surrounding a suspected source area around the SGP ARM site. Measurements were collected between 04:30 and 09:00 local time when the PBL was shallow, increasing sensitivity to surface emissions. Driving speeds were kept below 5 mph to minimize pressure-related artifacts.

A reference high-pressure CH4 adsorption isotherm for zeolite Y: results of an interlaboratory study

Abstract This paper reports the results of an international interlaboratory study led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on the measurement of high-pressure surface excess methane adsorption isotherms on NIST Reference Material RM 8850 (Zeolite Y), at 25 °C up to 7.5 MPa. Twenty laboratories participated in the study and contributed over one-hundred adsorption isotherms of methane on Zeolite Y. From these data, an empirical reference equation was determined, along with a 95% uncertainty interval ( U k =2 ). By requiring participants to replicate a high-pressure reference isotherm for carbon dioxide adsorption on NIST Reference Material RM 8852 (ZSM-5), this interlaboratory study also demonstrated the usefulness of reference isotherms in evaluating the performance of high-pressure adsorption experiments.
