CJCZO -- Precipitation -- Marshall Gulch -- (2007-2019)

OVERVIEW

Description/Abstract

Marshall Gulch (high elevation site in the Santa Catalina Mountains, Arizona) precipitation is measured at nine locations. Six locations are equipped with a cluster of three RAINEW 111 Tipping Bucket Wired Rain Gauges. Data are recorded every 15 minutes and after quality control, precipitation values are averaged for each cluster. Three additional locations are instrumented with a single rain gage. RAINEW 111 Tipping Bucket is installed at Marshall Gulch weir, Campbell Scientific Heated Rain Gage 385 is installed at Mt. Lemmon site. Winter precipitation was recorded using Onset S-RGB-M002 rain gage equipped with an antifreeze tipping bucket CS 705 snowfall adapter at the Schist catchment.

Data are provisional and may be subject to revision.

Data for 2007-2012 were collected and computed by Ingo Heidbuechel, Graduate assistant, University of Arizona, ingohei@email.arizona.edu.

From 2012, instrumentation is maintained and data are collected and computed by Nate Abramson, University of Arizona, nabramso@email.arizona.edu.

Three additional rain gages added at the following sites: MG weir, Mt. Lemmon and MG Schist catchment in 2012.

MG Schist catchment rain gage (MG_Schist_Winter_Rain) collects only winter precipitation typically from December to April.
