Meteorology and soil moisture data collected at multiple frequencies from the M-NORT NPP site automated monitoring stations: Jornada Basin LTER, 2013 - ongoing

This dataset contains summary data collected at the Jornada Basin LTER program's M-NORT NPP site weather station and associated soil substation at several temporal scales. Precipitation data are collected at 1-second frequency during rain events, air temperature at 5-minute frequency, and all sensors are measured at 30-minute, hourly and daily frequencies. Observed values include average/maximum/minimum air temperature, relative humidity, and total precipitation; soil moisture, temperature and conductivity. These are measured and calculated based on 1-second scan rate of all sensors located at an automated weather station, and a nearby soil substation, installed at the site. Air temperature and relative humidity is measured at approximately 2.5m. Soil sensors are installed at approximately 10, 20 and 30cm depths.
