Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Mirror Lake Ice Cover 1968 - ongoing

Mirror Lake is located within the Hubbard Brook Valley, NH and has been the subject of numerous continuous limnological investigations since the early 1960s. The long-term Mirror Lake record is part of the Hubbard Brook Watershed Ecosystem Record (HBWatER), which is a long-term record of weekly sampling of nine-gaged watersheds at HB and includes the stream draining Mirror Lake. This data set reports ice cover, ice in and ice out data beginning in 1968 and continuing through the present. The collection and management of the long-term record was initiated in 1963 by Gene E. Likens, F. Herbert Bormann, Robert S. Pierce, and Noye M. Johnson. HBWatER is currently sustained by Tammy Wooster (Cary IES) and Jeff Merriam (USFS) and the dataset is curated and maintained by a team of researchers: Chris Solomon (Cary IES), Emma Rosi (Cary IES), Emily Bernhardt (Duke), Lindsey Rustad (USFS), John Campbell (USFS), Bill McDowell (UNH), Charley Driscoll (Syracuse U.), Mark Green (Case Western), and Scott Bailey (USFS). Current Financial Support for HBWatER is provided by NSF LTREB # 1907683 and the USDA Forest Service Northern Research Station. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.

镜湖（Mirror Lake）坐落于美国新罕布什尔州哈伯德布鲁克山谷（Hubbard Brook Valley）内，自20世纪60年代初以来便成为多项持续性湖沼学研究的核心对象。镜湖长期监测数据集是哈伯德布鲁克流域生态系统记录（Hubbard Brook Watershed Ecosystem Record, HBWatER）的组成部分；HBWatER是针对哈伯德布鲁克地区9个设有径流监测站的流域开展的长期周度采样项目，同时涵盖了汇出镜湖的溪流监测数据。本数据集收录了1968年至今的冰盖状况、封冻始期与融冰终期数据。该长期监测数据集的收集与管理工作于1963年由Gene E. Likens、F. Herbert Bormann、Robert S. Pierce及Noye M. Johnson四人发起。目前HBWatER由Tammy Wooster（卡里生态系统研究所，Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Cary IES）与Jeff Merriam（美国林务局，United States Forest Service, USFS）负责运维，数据集的整理与维护工作由以下研究团队共同承担：Chris Solomon（Cary IES）、Emma Rosi（Cary IES）、Emily Bernhardt（杜克大学）、Lindsey Rustad（USFS）、John Campbell（USFS）、Bill McDowell（新罕布什尔大学，University of New Hampshire, UNH）、Charley Driscoll（雪城大学，Syracuse University, Syracuse U.）、Mark Green（凯斯西储大学，Case Western Reserve University, Case Western）以及Scott Bailey（USFS）。HBWatER当前的经费支持来自美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）长期生态生物学研究项目（Long-Term Research in Environmental Biology, LTREB）编号1907683，以及美国农业部（United States Department of Agriculture, USDA）林务局北方研究站。本数据集采集自哈伯德布鲁克生态系统研究（Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study, HBES）项目。HBES是依托哈伯德布鲁克实验林开展的合作研究项目，该实验林由美国农业部林务局北方研究站运营维护。
