NGEE Arctic: Next Generation Ecosystem Experiments - Arctic
The Next-Generation
Ecosystem
Experiments seeks to improve our
predictive understanding
of carbon-rich Arctic system processes and feedbacks to climate. We do this through experiments, observations, and
synthesis
of existing datasets that strategically inform models and enhance the knowledge base required to initialize, calibrate, and evaluate models.
