Project

Project name	Monimet - Climate Change Indicators and Vulnerability of Boreal Zone Applying Innovative Observation and Modelling Techniques
Project funder	EU Life+
Project identifier	LIFE12 ENV/FI/000409

Description

Basic information

Dataset title	Phenological time lapse images and data from Monimet EU Life+ project (LIFE12 ENV/FI/000409)
Theme	Biology and Ecology
Description	The data set contains phenological time lapse images from a network of digital surveillance cameras for automated monitoring of phenological activity of vegetation and snow cover at 14 sites in boreal ecosystems of Finland. For each site 1-3 cameras were installed. Each data record holds time series of camera images for one camera covering the period 2014 to 2017 or parts of it.

Data processing steps

Data processing steps	sampling
Description	Cameras were set to fixed white balance and automatic exposure. Where feasible, cameras were installed with northward viewing direction. Images have equal spatial resolution throughout the time series and are taken half-hourly, excluding night hours. Images were mostly acquired with StarDotNetCam SC5 camera; except for one site (Paljakka) for which an AXIS P1357E camera was used. Pixel digital numbers are not comparable between cameras. Selected cameras have grey reference panels to monitor stability of the colour reproduction of cameras.

Data processing steps

Data processing steps	quality control
Description	Images are in their original quality and have not been quality checked. Known issues are reported in the specific camera data sheet.
