Shambley Creek Meteorological Data (AIMS_SE_WHR_METS)

This study was conducted in the Shambley Creek research watershed (outlet location: 32.98410915, -88.01334337) on privately owned property in Greene County (AL, USA). The watershed drains a non-perennial unnamed tributary to Shambley Creek, and contains 0.70 km^2 of coniferous forest managed for silviculture in the East Gulf Coastal Plain physiographic section. Located near Eutaw, AL, the watershed spans an elevation range from 63 to 94 m above sea level, and is a tributary to the Sipsey River (within the larger Mobile-Tombigbee basin). The region has a humid subtropical climate, with mean daily January and July air temperatures of 7.3°C and 27.4°C respectively, and mean annual precipitation of 1,350 mm/yr. These data were collected in support of the sampling goals of the Aquatic Intermittency effects on Microbiomes in Streams (AIMS) Project. A HOBO U30 weather station was installed approximately 1.6 km from the research watershed outlet in an open clearing (site name: WHPPT). This weather station collected barometric pressure, rainfall, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation. This sensor collected this meteorological data continuously throughout the project, and was set to collect all parameters at 5 minute intervals starting from Oct. 2021 to Mar. 2022, and 15 minute intervals from Mar. 2022 to Aug. 2024. Each .csv file is associated with all sensor parameters for a single year.
