Meteorological Field Measurements in Yahara River Watershed

These data are collected to support the Water Sustainability and Climate of the Yahara
River Watershed Project. Meteorological measurements include air temperature, relative
humidity, wind speed, gust wind speed, solar radiation, dew point temperature, and rainfall.
Weather stations were installed at 3 locations across the Yahara Watershed at the UW
Arboretum, the City of Madisons Cherokee Park, and Waunakee Marsh State Wildlife Area. These
data are being collected to observe differences in how water and energy are processed under
different land cover types and to create calibration datasets for a separate project goal of
creating an agro-biophysical model of the entire Yahara River watershed.
