R01 (Soil Temperature)

Site description: Midslope; Habitat type Psme/Hodi

Map elevation: 490 meters

(No GPS data for this point.)

Aspect: 200 degrees Slope: 41 degrees

Measurement period: 19700417 - 19950715

Daily Variables:
17 Apr 1970 to 07 Jan 1987:
Mean sunrise to sunrise temperature only
07 Jan 1987 to 15 Jul 1995:
Mean, max, min daily (midnight to midnight) temperature
Mean, max, min daytime temperature
Mean, max, min nighttime temperature
Time of max, time of min for daily, daytime, nighttime

Sensor depth: 20 cm

Notes: Soil temperature was digitized on a sunrise to sunrise basis.
After 07 Jan 1987, a true daily summary is available due to the use
of a revised digitizing program. The revised program produces
output similar to the CR10 dataloggers used for thermographs.
