I. Data Set Descriptors A. Title: Gage data from benchmark stations at the Andrews Experimental Forest (GSWS09) from 01-Oct-2019 to 01-Oct-2020 B. Accession Number: C. Description 1. Originator(s): Sherri L. Johnson 2. Abstract: Stream temperature at stream gages and air temperature above the stream are measured at all stream gaging sites and at selected major stream confluences. Current temperature data are collected as hourly averages of instantaneous measurements. these data began ~1996. Historic data, starting in 1950 at Lookout Creek gage, are included at daily mean or maximum and minimum. 3. Study Type: 4. Study Themes: 5. LTER Core Areas: 6. Georeferences: 7. Submission Date: D.
