The EMERALD researchers contributed to this paper with data from the flux tower in Adventdalen on Svalbard.
This study is the largest pan-Arctic synthesis of its kind and shows the importance of vegetation type for the arctic surface energy balance. For example, it shows that differences between vegetation types can be as large as the difference between vegetation and a glacier.
This topic is relevant for EMERALD due to its focus on the surface energy balance.
