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.

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

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.

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!
