updates

[Ankur Desai]

Hello CHEESEHEAD19 fans,

It’s been quite a year since I last posted an update. Hope everyone is doing alright and have some fun summer activities planned.

A few notes from here:

- The scaling land-atmosphere special issue in AGU journals closes end of May. A number of CHEESEHEAD19 papers have already been submitted or publication, and I encourage you to submit yours before the deadline. Let me know if you need a little bit extra time as we might be able to make accommodations for specific papers. Later in June, I plan to write an introduction to the collection highlighting some of the key findings. 

- Papers are starting to come out from the experiment which is great to see, here is a sampling of recent pubs. if you got others I missed, let us know:

- Stay tuned for more forthcoming, including ones on forest structure and carbon cycling (Murphy et al, in review), mesoscale fluxes in airborne data (Paleri et al), decadal variability in regional carbon fluxes (Desai et al), partitioning transpiration (Shveyster et al), spatial eddy covariance (Butterworth et al), hyperspectral imaging of small lakes (Mineau et al), and more. And as soon as Sreenath and Luise figure out what to do with their 100+ TB of large eddy simulation output of the whole domain over the IOPs, more from there! Let me know if you got projects in the pipeline, happy to give feedback on drafts, help with site descriptions/metadata, link you to latest revisions of flux data and the like, including those not yet on EOL repository. The final two towers (the lake and ISS grass sites) are very close to final QA/QC and posting on Ameriflux.

- Speaking of repository, I know a few datasets are still pending or in revision. Never too late to submit or update. Do give a heads up here when you do so that those of us working on it

- A reminder to please include the grant numbers in your manuscript and presentation acknowledgements. This helps us keep our funders notified that their investment in the project is leading to results and helps us trace papers, along with citing Butterworth et al (2021) paper in BAMS

Take care,
