Abstract: 

Electronic sensors are placed at the field location to support other activities. Data set includes measurementes from several climate stations in the northeast section of the Luquillo Experimental Forest. These stations are surround the Bisley Experimental watersheds and the Sabana Field Station that are operated by the USFS and the USGS. The collection of data in the Sabana Field Station ended in 9/10/2009.

Methodology

Methods: 

Hourly and daily totals are collected from recording climate stations on the upper Bisley Climate tower by the USGS, the lower Bisley climate tower and the roof of the Sabana Field station laboratory building by the USFS, and at the Sabana river discharge station by the USGS. Daily totals are only included in data set from recording stations. Weekly (i.e. Tuesday to Tuesday) and monthly totals are calculated from the sum of the totalizing stations.
