neonUtilities 2.2.0 is now available on CRAN! Updates in this new version: stackByTable() and loadByProduct() correctly handle new Science Review Flag

Data quality checks have revealed that grab sample pH measurements in Chemical properties of surface water (DP1.20093.001) do not always align with

It was previously reported that fDOM values (Water Quality data product, DP1.20288.001), measured using older model sensor probes, were artificially low. NEON has retired these probes and replaced them with newer models in which the defect has been corrected. It therefore should not occur in any data collected after June 1st, 2022.

In RELEASE-2022, the phe_statusintensity table in the Plant Phenology data product (DP1.10055.001) did not include observations for the ‘Young leaves’ phenophase for several growth forms for observations made in 2020. These records are also absent in provisional data accessed prior to 2022-10. The processing error that led to omission of these records has been fixed and the data have been reprocessed. 2020 data will be included in RELEASE-2023.

neonOS 1.0.0 is now available on CRAN! This package provides functions for working with NEON observational data products. removeDups() flags duplicate

AOP lidar data products collected with the Optech Galaxy Prime Lidar sensor between 2021 and 2022 were found to have abnormally high noise levels

The latest data for a number of AOP data products, primarily published in 2022, were listed as available on the data portal but could not be

Data for a number of AOP data products, primarily published in 2022, are listed as available on the data portal, but cannot currently be downloaded

A Quick Start Guide (QSG) has been added to the documentation for each data product. The QSGs contain basic information to help users familiarize

RELEASE-2022 data for temperature at specific depth in surface water (DP1.20264.001) contained incorrect sensorDepth values at BARC and CRAM for some

On June 12, 2022, catastrophic flooding of the Gardiner and Yellowstone Rivers across southern Montana and northern Wyoming caused by late season

This is an update to the previous post concerning the delay in external lab particulate carbon and nitrogen data. Due to low sample size for some

The original sampling design for NEON gas exchange measurements included simultaneous volatile gas tracer and conservative salt tracer constant-rate

The quality control algorithm for relative humidity (DP1.00098.001) has been modified to retain readings that fail the range test (> 102%) rather than remove them prior to averaging.

Measurement depths (zOffset in the sensor positions file) are currently reported incorrectly in the Soil water content and salinity data product (DP1.00094.001) at all terrestrial sites; however, the moisture and salinity measurements themselves are not impacted by this issue.

Corrections were made to wind direction statistics in provisional data (collected Jan 2020 and after). Corrections to the full dataset will be released in January 2023 as part of RELEASE-2023.

This is an update to the previous post concerning the delay in external lab particulate carbon and nitrogen data. Sample analysis for the pilot study

neonUtilities 2.1.4 is now available on CRAN! Updates in this new version: New function getNeonDOI() enables quick access to DOIs for data products

AOP data that were erroneously not included in RELEASE-2022 are now available in that release as well as searchable with LATEST AND PROVISIONAL release tag. For these data products, RELEASE-2022 supersedes RELEASE-2021. Read on to learn more.

A previous data notification warned of an error remaining in the computation of the distorted flow quality metrics in the 2D wind speed and direction

Macroinvertebrate metabarcoding (DP1.20126.001) and Zooplankton metabarcoding (DP1.20221.001) bioinformatics data in the inv_metabarcodeTaxonomy and

During data review to troubleshoot negative fDOM values, NEON discovered that some fDOM values published in the Water quality (DP1.20288.001) data

This is an update regarding incorrect sensorDepth values at BARC and CRAM for some time ranges in provisional and RELEASE-2022 data for Temperature at specific depth in surface water (DP1.20264.001). The previous post contains information on how to fix the issue in downloaded data.

Provisional and RELEASE-2022 data for Temperature at specific depth in surface water (DP1.20264.001) contains incorrect sensorDepth values at BARC and

Delay in external lab particulate carbon and nitrogen data: Affects the Periphyton, seston, and phytoplankton chemical properties, Stable isotopes in surface water, and Chemical properties of surface water data products.

NEON recently discovered that the Relative humidity above water on-buoy (DP1.20271.001) data product had been over-flagged with the automated step test. NEON has adjusted the step test threshold and re-processed the data product for all time and all sites where it is produced.

This is an update to the previous post concerning external lab surface water and groundwater nutrient data. All backlog samples have been shipped and

Corrections were made to 2D wind speed and direction statistics in RELEASE-2022 and provisional data. Additional corrections to the quality metrics for this product are pending.

NEON's second data release [RELEASE-2022] is now available for download. Note that there are some open issues with AOP data that are being investigated.
