Data Products Status
Observation System (OS) Products
- The collection of OS data and samples are dependent on human operators being in the field. Thus, collections at sites where conditions result in restricted access will be impacted.
- Includes DP IDs: DP1.1XXXX, subset of DP1.2XXXX, DP4.00131, DP4.00132
Airborne Observation Products
- Airborne Observation data collection for 2024 is now complete. The 2025 season will commence in March 2025.
- Airborne products are collected according to the schedule above; these data are all dependent on human operators traveling extensively and being in the field.
- Includes DP IDs: DPX.3XXXX
Instrumented System Products (Updated Tuesdays)
- Most sensors continually collect and communicate data to the centralized NEON database. Regular on-site maintenance may be impacted at sites where conditions result in restricted access.
- Includes DP IDs: DPX.0XXXX (except for DP4.00131, DP4.00132), subset of DP1.2XXXX.
- Unplanned power and/or communications outages occur as a normal part of operations. Please note that communications outages typically result in delayed delivery of data rather than data loss.
