Meteorological Field Measurements in Yahara River Watershed

These data are collected to support the Water Sustainability and Climate of the Yahara River Watershed Project. Meteorological measurements include air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, gust wind speed, solar radiation, dew point temperature, and rainfall. Weather stations were installed at 3 locations across the Yahara Watershed at the UW Arboretum, the City of Madisons Cherokee Park, and Waunakee Marsh State Wildlife Area. These data are being collected to observe differences in how water and energy are processed under different land cover types and to create calibration datasets for a separate project goal of creating an agro-biophysical model of the entire Yahara River watershed.
