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

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.

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.

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.

Would you like to know when Continuous discharge (DP4.00130.001) will be available for a site? We regularly update this blog with new information.

Based on recommendations from our Aquatics Technical Working Group (TWG) and feedback from data users, we have made several updates to the Water quality (DP1.20288.001) data product.

To improve data product usability, we have repackaged a couple data products to deliver field data for both woody and non-woody plant measurements all

neonUtilities 2.1.3 is now available on CRAN!

In order to improve data product usability, we have repackaged two data products to deliver all analyses for sediment chemical and physical properties all in one download.

Following the data notification published on November 17, 2020, NEON suspended production of the Canopy Nitrogen, Canopy Xanthophyll, Canopy Lignin and Total biomass data products, and removed already published data products from the NEON data portal.

NEON is committed to improving the quality of data we provide to the user community. After receiving feedback from users, and in consultation with the Aquatic Technical Working Group, we are moving forward with changes to the Water quality (DP1.20288.001) data product.

The first set of tick-borne rodent pathogen data from the 5 pilot sites tested in 2020 are now available on the portal. Beginning in 2021, observatory-wide rodent pathogen testing will be for tick-borne pathogens, and data will be available through the rodent pathogen status, tick-borne data product. Prior to 2020, all of the rodent pathogen tests are for hantavirus and are available in the rodent pathogen status, hantavirus data product.

neonUtilities 2.1.2 is now available on CRAN!

Cheat sheets provide a quick reference for functions, naming conventions, data formats, and other rules for using a code package. For new users of the package, we still recommend starting with the tutorials, but experienced users who need to check their function calls or look up details can get information quickly from the cheat sheet.

An interim solution is starting to be implemented at all terrestrial sites that is expected to increase soil water content (DP1.00094.001) data availability, but may result in a step change in the soil moisture time series until all data are reprocessed through a new data processing system.

Planning to publish your work based on NEON data, samples, or resources through the Assignable Assets program? We just published a new webpage with helpful tips and guidelines!

neonUtilities 2.1.1 is now available on CRAN! This new version fixes a small number of bugs, including the readr 2.0.0 incompatibility described in an earlier notification. Update is highly recommended.

Version 2.0.0 of the readr package was released July 20, 2021. This new version causes stackByTable() to error out in neonUtilities 2.1.0 and earlier. A new version of neonUtilities that resolves this issue will be released as soon as possible.

This is an update to the previous post concerning sonde depth data from the buoys, which are currently not corrected for barometric pressure effects.

Following the discovery that wind monitor orientation discrepancies were adversely affecting wind direction data in Wind speed and direction on lakes on-buoy, NEON has field-verified current wind monitor orientations at the buoy sites and updated the algorithm to account for the wind monitor orientation and approximate uncertainty atop the buoy mast.
