Title: LTER Meteorological Stations at the Kellogg Biological Station, Hickory Corners, MI (1988 to 2020)
Dataset Abstract Meteorological data have been collected on the LTER main site since 1988. Originally, wind direction and speed, total solar radiation, net solar radiation, rainfall, air temperature, and relative humidity were recorded hourly in connection with measurements of evapotranspiration and deep percolation from a 6 m2 in-ground weighing lysimeter. The lysimeter and fetch area were planted to continuous alfalfa. Although the lysimeter is no longer in operation, weather data collection continues. Precipitation was measured with a tipping bucket rain gauge until fall of 1997, when it was replaced with a weighing bucket rain gauge. In 2007 the belford rain gauge was replaced by a NOAH IV weighing bucket gage. All other sensors are electronic, connected to a data logger that is polled remotely. Instruments to measure wind speed and direction are mounted on a tower at 10 m. Light sensors (net solar radiation and photosynthetically active radiation) a thermometer, and an RH probe (with a built-in thermometer) are mounted at about 3 m. Soil moisture and temperature are monitored near the base of the tower. original data source http://lter.kbs.msu.edu/datasets/5  more » « less

    Daily summary data at NPP M-RABB met station. Average/maximum/minimum air temperature; average/maximum relative humidity and wind speed and average wind direction; solar radiation; albedo. These are measured and calculated based on 1-second scan rate of all sensors located at an automated meteorological station installed at Jornada LTER NPP M-RABB site. Wind speed is measured at 75 cm, 150 cm, and 300 cm, wind direction at approximately 3m, and air temperature and relative humidity at approximate 2.5m. Solar radiation is measured at 3m. This climate station is operated by the Jornada LTER Program. This is an ONGOING dataset.
