Bisley Tower I Meteorological data (Bisley Tower)

Several meteorological parameters are being measured at Bisley since 1993. Correlations between elevation and stream-runoff and rainfall, elevation and air and soil temperature, and between trhoughfall and vegetation types have been found. These relationships are used inhydrologic and nutrient budgets as well as in environmental models . Electronic sensors are placed at the field location to support other activities.
