InteractHeath Meteorology

InteractHeath (I6Nh) is one of two automatic energy balance stations in Kobbefjord that was set up in 2011. Data from the station is found under Meteorology (air temperature, relative humidity, short- and longwave radiation, wind), Soil Properties (soil moisture, soil temperatures, soil heat fluxes) and Snow Properties (snow temperatures, snow depth). It is placed at the dry heath (26 m.a.s.l.) north of Badesø, where the dominating vegetation consists of salix and empetrum, close to the Eddy Heath (Flux Monitoring) and SPA (Snow Properties) stations. The meteorological dataset from the station consists of air temperature and relative humidity (Campbell, CS215) measured in radiation shield 2 m above ground, wind speed and direction (Young, 05106) and short/long wave incoming/outgoing solar radiation (KippZonen, CNR4). All data is logged every 30 minutes (UTC-3 West Greenlandic Winter Time, CR1000). The station is part of a network of similar energy balance stations. In Kobbefjord a comparable station is placed in the fen (I5Nf). Data comments: In 2012 the station was moved 20 m closer to the stream because the vegetation was damaged underneath the sensors. Since 2016 the was a problem with the NDVI sensor, and data has not been delivered. Wind direction data from 28-07-2015 and forward has been corrected for a 175° offset in the data delivery 01-05-2025.Longwave radiation data from 2013-09-05 to 2025-10-26 have been corrected for a logger program error and redelivered by May 2026.
