Vertical air temperature from 11 trees in the Andrews Forest has been collecting beginning in 2011. The trees are at a variety of elevations and are of various species and ages. The 11 trees were selected from the H.J Andrews phenology study air temperature network (MS045). This study examines air temperatures at multiple heights in each tree. The first sensor is at 1.5 m (data from MS045) and subsequent sensors measure every 5 m up the tree. Each sensor includes a light (illumination) sensor, which can be used to assess the value of the data. This is not a measurement of the actual light conditions.

This study is intended to understand vertical temperature profiles and their spatial patterns in relation to forest structure and landscape context.
