    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.

    <p>Fixed cameras installed at the plots (core 1 hectare vegetation plot and Ridgefield) at TERN Boyagin Wandoo Woodland SuperSite provide a time series of fine scale data as a long-term record of vegetation structure and condition. This dense time series of phenocam images provides data for analysis of ecological responses to climate variability, and when consolidated across the entire terrestrial ecosystem research network, supports calibration and validation of satellite-derived remote sensing data, ensuring delivery of higher quality results for broader scale environmental monitoring products.</p> <p>Images are captured half hourly during daylight hours. Images and data products, including timeseries of the Green Chromatic Coordinate (Gcc) for a region-of-interest (ROI) that delineates an area of specific vegetation type, are made available on an almost real-time basis. </p> <p>The Boyagin Wandoo Woodland SuperSite was established in 2017 at the Boyagin Nature Reserve with research plots located in Wandoo woodland (<em>Eucalypt sp.</em>). The core 1 ha plot is located in a dense Eucalypt woodland, while Ridgefield subsite is located within an area of dryland agriculture. For additional site information, see https://www.tern.org.au/tern-observatory/tern-ecosystem-processes/boyagin-wandoo-woodland-supersite/ .</p> <p> Other images collected at the site include digital cover and hemispherical photography (DCP and DHP) and ancillary images of fauna and flora.</p>
