Hydrologic data from long-term research catchments at the Santa Rita and Jornada Experimental Ranges

This datasets contains ecohydrological data collected for the research catchments at the Santa Rita Experimental Range (SRER, 31.817° N, -110.851° W) in southern of Arizona and the Jornada Experimental Range (JER, 32.585° N, -106.603° W) in southern New Mexico. The SRER catchment correspond to a mesquite savanna of the Sonoran Desert and the JER catchment is a mixed shrubland of the Chihuahuan Desert.

Dataset includes the following ecohydrological variables at a daily scale:

Year of measurement.

Day of year (DOY) of measurement.

Precipitation (P).

Evapotranspiration (ET).

Runoff (Q).

Soil moisture (SM).

Net Radiation (Rn).

Sensible heat flux (H).

Latent heat flux (λET).

Gross primary production (GPP).

Ecosystem respiration (Reco).

Net ecosystem exchange (NEE).

Air Temperature (Tair).

Relative Humidity (RH).

Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD).
