Abstract:

From 1956 to 2014, watershed precipitation was estimated using the Thiessen Means weighting method. Daily watershed precipitation values were a weighted average of daily precipitation from standard gauges in or near the watershed. The weighting factor for each gauge was the fraction of the watershed area nearest that gauge. Beginning in 2015, a similar system was implemented using the 10 remaining rain gauges, however Inverse Distance Weighting was used to estimate the weighting of each gauge instead of the Theissen polygon approach. These data were gathered at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in Thornton, NH, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
