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

This dataset contains summary data collected at the Jornada Basin LTER program's G-IBPE 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 and wind 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 wind speed; average wind direction; total precipitation; average and total solar incoming and reflectance; average albedo; average net radiation; 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. Wind speed is measured at 75 cm, 150 cm, and 300 cm, wind direction at approximately 3m, air temperature and relative humidity at approximately 2.5m, and solar at approximately 3m. Soil sensors are installed at approximately 10, 20 and 30cm depths.
