Soil moisture, conductivity, and temperature for four stormwater basins in Ithaca, New York- 2012-2014

Description: This data was collected by Decagon (now METER) ZL6 dataloggers connected to 5TE soil electrical conductivity/ moisture/ temperature sensors. Sites: Stormwater basins on Cornell University campus in Ithaca, New York, USA.Two wet basins, two dry basins. Within site measurements:Within each basin site, sensors collected data from 5 locations. D1 and D2 are reference locations just outside of each stormwater basin, in soil that is not receiving stormwater inputs. W1, W2, and W3 are located within each stormwater basin, and thus are influenced by inflowing stormwater and conditions within the basin.
