Bull Creek Lower Met data collected by water year (previous October 01 through September 30 of named year). Standard meteorological data are being collected at the Bull Lower Meteorological site using a Campbell Scientific logger to control peripheral devices. The data are remotely downloaded via radio modem through the USFS radio network. A 15 watt solar panel provides power to continuously monitor temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, radiation, snow depth, snow density and rainfall intensity at 15 minute intervals. Data processing compresses data to hourly intervals. The Bull Lower Met site is located at 2195 meters in elevation.

This met station is located at the Bull Creek site of the Kings River Experimental Watershed (KREW). Both the Providence and Bull Creek met stations were erected by the Forest Service Pacific Southwest research station as part of the KREW project using the same methods and sensors. Data processing was conducted by the CZO using the same programs. The Bull creek site acts as a nearby paired area, approximately 400 m higher in elevation than the Providence sites.
