ABSTRACT:

This data is part of a project studying the effects of wildfire on the Illilouette Creek Basin, a watershed within Yosemite National Park. Three temporary weather stations were installed under distinct types of vegetation cover. Each station measures air temperature, relative humidity, rainfall (the rain gage is not heated, so only the portion of snowfall that melts within the gage is measured), wind speed and direction, solar radiation, and both soil moisture and temperature at three depths. These measurements are recorded every 10 minutes, beginning in the summer of 2015. Station A is located under a dense mixed conifer canopy in an area that burned at low severity in 2004 and in 2017 (Empire Fire). For descriptions of the data format and units, see the included WeatherStnMetadata.xlsx file.

ABSTRACT:

This is a collection of three weather station time series data from September 2016 to September 2020. These weather stations were installed to study the long-term effects of fire on local hydrology by measuring microclimate in three nearby sites with different post-fire vegetation. Data is collected at 10 min interval. Variables include: wind speed and direction, air temperature, relative humidity precipitation, insolation, soil moisture and soil temperature at 3 different depths: 12cm, 60 cm, and 100 cm. The weather stations are located in Sugarloaf Creek Basin by Comanche Meadow. Forested, meadow, and shrub sites are represented.
