Abstract:

Rainfall and ionic composition data were collected at 21 sites along the elevational gradient of the Luquillo Mountains, in Puerto Rico. Stations were selected along the east coast of the island and follow the steep slope of the mountains until the highest peaks. Rainfall data were collected every two weeks and are provided in this data publication as monthly rainfall from January 2009 through May 2019. Also included are pH and conductivity which are provided monthly starting roughly in November 2011 and continue through May 2019. Monthly ionic composition data from rainwater samples collected during the last two weeks of each month are also included from January 2009 through December 2017.
