Data Partners

NEON works with other organizations to improve data discoverability. Please read more about our partners below.

AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) project

The AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) project is a federation of ground-based remote sensing aerosol networks, established by NASA, PHOTONS and many domestic and international partners, that provides a public domain database of aerosol optical, microphysical and radiative properties. NEON submits data routinely to AERONET from spectral sun photometers installed at terrestrial sites.

AmeriFlux

NEON's flux towers make up approximately 1/3 of the AmeriFlux network. NEON periodically submits several data products to AmeriFlux, which are served from the AmeriFlux data portal.

Arctic Observing Viewer (AOV)

The Arctic Observing Viewer (AOV) is a web mapping application and information system designed to help with visualization, strategic assessment, and decision support for initiatives tied to Arctic Observing. Plot and instrument level field site information for NEON's Alaska sites are included.

USA National Phenology Network

The USA National Phenology Network serves science and society by collecting, storing, and sharing phenology data and information. NEON's Plant Phenology observational data has been integrated with data collected by the USA-NPN Nature's Notebook citizen science program and is accessible via the National Phenology Database. These data can be summarized and explored in the USA-NPN Visualization Tool.

Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG)

"Historically known as the Taxonomic Databases Working Group, today's Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) is a not-for-profit, scientific and educational association formed to establish international collaboration among the creators, managers and users of biodiversity information and to promote the wider and more effective dissemination and sharing of knowledge about the world's heritage of biological organisms." - TDWG

Engagement Partners

AGU Thriving Earth Exchange

NEON is partnering with the American Geophysical Union’s Thriving Earth Exchange (TEX) program - an international association of more than 60,000 advocates and experts in Earth and space science that fosters community science partnerships to advance local priorities. NEON staff are serving as Community Science Fellows to facilitate and lead collaborative, co-developed community science projects that produce on-the-ground impact in local communities. NEON Fellows are working with TEX staff to serve as leaders in community science in their Domain and across the Observatory.
