Abstract:

Hygrothermographs have collected relative humidity at 7 locations within the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest since 1956. Minimum relative humidity at the time of maximum daily temperature is then converted to vapor pressure. Because vapor pressure varies little throughout a day and among locations, data from all available hygrothermographs were averaged in order to reduce error. Most of the period of record prior to 1981 is not digitally available. Data have only been read from the hygrothermograph charts for three periods: January 1966 to April 1966; June 1967 to Sept. 1967 and; May 1971 to April 1973. However, the entire hygrothermograph chart collection has recently been scanned and prepared for data extraction to fill in gaps in the dataset. Beginning in 1981, a humidity sensor has operated as part of the automatic weather station at Headquarters.

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.
