Poker Flat Research Range Super-Site Overview

In 2009, the International Arctic Research Center (IARC) and JAMSTEC agreed to build a super-site tower or research plot. The purpose of the project is to conduct interdisciplinary research on land surface hydrology, gas and vapor fluxes, and refinements of these processes in large-scale global climate models (GCMs). After evaluating several potential site locations, the floodplain at Poker Flat Research Range (PFRR) was selected.
