2. The Climates of the Long-Term Ecological Research Sites

Posted in Documents

The Climates of the Long-Term Ecological Research Sites. 1987. Report maintained on-line Each LTER site maintains a climate database and at many sites climate data represent the longest data set available. Increasing attention to possible ecological consequences of global change requires an understanding climate variabilities and the potential for rapid directional climate change. This electronic report describes climatic variability, climatic change scenarios, and individual climate and water budget analyses performed at 18 LTER sites. Greenland, D.

A Climatic Analysis Of Long-Term Ecological Research Sites

The Long-Term Ecological Research Program (LTER) funded by the National Science Foundation’s Division of Biotic Systems, is mandated to pursue ecological research over long time periods at a variety of sites throughout the United States. Climate research is recognized by both ecologists and climatologists as having a key role in long-term ecological research. Each LTER site maintains its own climate program and at many sites climate data represent the longest data set available.

Spring 1996: Developing an LTER Network Information System for the 21st Century

Posted in Documents

The necessity of intersite research has driven the LTER mandate since intersite workshops in the early 1980’s. Since then the LTER data managers have been focusing on facilitating this research. Recently, the maturation of environmental information management, and advances in technology provide an impetus to accomplish more effectively the long-standing goal of facilitating intersite research (Stafford, et al. 1994). Although computers have come a long way, the fundamentals of managing research information and developing an appropriate system for management have remained relatively stable.
