Diamond-O Ranch Vegetation and Climate

The intent of the Diamond-O Ranch Vegetation and Climate data set, which describes Starr County, Texas, is to determine what variations exist in different rangeland vegetation communities for temperature and relative humidity in the soil/vegetation interface. Data were collected using a wing thermistor and Vaisala relative humidity sensors, through Campbell Scientific data loggers. Relative humidity probes were calibrated using saturated salt solutions. Collection Organization: Texas A&M University. Collection Methodology: The collected wing thermister and Vaisala relative humidity sensors. These are obtained from Campbell Scientific data loggers. Collection Frequency: Every two hours for two years. Update Characteristics: Only a two year window - so it hasn't been updated. STATISTICAL INFORMATION: Not yet complete. LANGUAGE: English ACCESS/AVAILABILITY: The Diamond-O data set is available in vector format at a scale of 1:5000. Consult with the data center contact for more information.
