Harvard Forest Climate Data since 1964

This dataset provides daily minimum, maximum, and mean air temperature and 24-hour precipitation data from Harvard Forest for long-term climate studies. It combines measurements from the original manual weather station (Shaler Met Station, 1964-2002, 42.53167 N, 72.18937 W, dataset HF000) with measurements from the current automated weather station (Fisher Met Station, since 2001, 42.53311 N, 72.18968 W, dataset HF001). Gaps in the Shaler data were filled using data from nearby stations. Data from a 12-month period when both stations were operational were used to adjust the Shaler data to account for differences in microclimate at the two sites. This dataset is updated annually.
