Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest: Hourly Precipitation data, 1988 to Present

Precipitation is measured at many sites within BCEF using TE525 tipping buckets. These sensors are able to detect .254mm of precipitation and record hourly totals of rainfall or throughfall. It should be noted the tipping buckets within forested sites are subject to clogging by forest debris whcih can result in under reporting of rain events as well as over reporting upon release of the collected precipitation. There is data from floodplains to upland sites along a range of successional gradients.
