Weather station data acquired across multiple locations on the San Joaquin Experimental Range, California, 2011-2017

These weather station records were collected as part of a larger study
relating microclimates to tree seedling survival in southern
California mountains. These weather station records are for studies at
the San Joaquin Experimental Range (Lat 37.083, Long -119.716,
elevation 210-520 m, www.fs.fed.us/psw/ef/san_joaquin/). Weather
stations were located at six sites across the landscape. Sites were
selected to sample topographic variation in surface and air
temperatures within a narrow range of elevations on northeast to
southwest-facing slopes, ridges, and valleys. Three full weather
stations (north slope, south slope, and valley floor) monitored
precipitation, wind, insolation, temperature, relative humidity, and
soil moisture. Three micro stations (west slope, east slope, and
ridge) measured soil moisture at -20 cm. Data was recorded on a
10-minute interval using HOBO (Onset, www.onsetcomp.com) devices.
