Description
Delta Junction (DEJU) is a terrestrial National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) field site located in central Alaska, approximately 150 km southeast of Fairbanks and 15 km south of the community of Delta Junction. The site is in the middle of scrubby evergreen forest, dominated by black spruce (Picea mariana), white spruce (Picea glauca) and American dwarf birch (Betula glandulosa, Betula nana). The site is co-located with NASA AERONET. DEJU primarily collects ecological data, and relevant atmospheric and meteorological instrumentation is listed below. Data products can be accessed here and here. The site cameras can be accessed here and here.
