Australian Mountain Research Facility, Aqueduct Site, Phenology and Phenocam Data Collection, 2021 ongoing

The record contains a dense time series of phenocam images collected from a fixed camera at the AMRF Aqueduct (PER) site near Perisher in Kosciuszko National Park to enable long‑term monitoring of vegetation phenology and ecosystem condition. These high‑frequency image series provide phenocam‑derived metrics that support analysis of ecological responses to climate variability. When integrated across the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), they also contribute to the calibration and validation of satellite remote‑sensing data, improving the quality and reliability of continental‑scale environmental monitoring products. Images are captured at half‑hourly intervals during daylight and are made available, together with derived data products such as time series of Green Chromatic Coordinate (GCC), Red Chromatic Coordinate (RCC) and Blue Chromatic Coordinates (BCC), along with statistical summaries for defined vegetation regions of interest (ROIs), on a near real‑time basis.
