Abstract:

Air temperature is measured at seven locations in rain gage clearings throughout the experimental watersheds and at Headquarters. The oldest air temperature record dates back to October 20,1955 at Station 1. From 1955 - 2014, temperature measurements were made continuously using hygrothermographs housed in standard shelters. Beginning in 2014, digital sensors housed in solar radiation shields collected daily minimum and maximum temperature measurements. Measurements made by the hygrothermographs have been corrected for screen bias to match the current aspirated radiation shields.

These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
