direction, precipitation, sea surface temperature, solar radiation
(pyranometer), air pressure, soil moisture, runoff, potential evapotranspiration, wet/dry season starting dates<br><br>Lutz catchment is a 9.73ha protected watershed on BCIThe Lutz tower was built in 1972 and was originally 42m. In 2002 it was increased to 48m<br>The data from 48m should be considered a separate data series from the
data at 42m. Wind speed is significantly higher at 48m due to the
distance to the top of the canopy.<br>The Clearing is a small, open area surrounded by forest and some
buildings. Station established in 1972. Consists of a Stevenson screen
with max/min thermometers and air pressure sensor. Temperature/humidity
sensor, rain gauge and evaporation sensors are located at various
