Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Mirror Lake Ice Cover 1968 - ongoing

Mirror Lake is located within the Hubbard Brook Valley, NH and has been the subject of numerous continuous limnological investigations since the early 1960s. The long-term Mirror Lake record is part of the Hubbard Brook Watershed Ecosystem Record (HBWatER), which is a long-term record of weekly sampling of nine-gaged watersheds at HB and includes the stream draining Mirror Lake. This data set reports ice cover, ice in and ice out data beginning in 1968 and continuing through the present. The collection and management of the long-term record was initiated in 1963 by Gene E. Likens, F. Herbert Bormann, Robert S. Pierce, and Noye M. Johnson. HBWatER is currently sustained by Tammy Wooster (Cary IES) and Jeff Merriam (USFS) and the dataset is curated and maintained by a team of researchers: Chris Solomon (Cary IES), Emma Rosi (Cary IES), Emily Bernhardt (Duke), Lindsey Rustad (USFS), John Campbell (USFS), Bill McDowell (UNH), Charley Driscoll (Syracuse U.), Mark Green (Case Western), and Scott Bailey (USFS). Current Financial Support for HBWatER is provided by NSF LTREB # 1907683 and the USDA Forest Service Northern Research Station.
These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.

镜湖（Mirror Lake）坐落于美国新罕布什尔州哈伯德布鲁克山谷，自20世纪60年代初以来，便成为诸多长期湖沼学研究的关注对象。镜湖的长期观测记录属于哈伯德布鲁克流域生态记录（Hubbard Brook Watershed Ecosystem Record，HBWatER）的组成部分；HBWatER是针对哈伯德布鲁克（HB）境内9个测流流域开展每周采样的长期数据集，涵盖了镜湖排水溪流的相关观测内容。本数据集收录了1968年至今的冰盖、入冰与出冰观测数据。该长期记录的收集与管理工作由Gene E. Likens、F. Herbert Bormann、Robert S. Pierce及Noye M. Johnson于1963年启动。目前HBWatER由Tammy Wooster（Cary IES）与Jeff Merriam（USFS）负责运维，数据集的编目与维护团队包括：Chris Solomon（Cary IES）、Emma Rosi（Cary IES）、Emily Bernhardt（杜克大学）、Lindsey Rustad（USFS）、John Campbell（USFS）、Bill McDowell（新罕布什尔大学，UNH）、Charley Driscoll（锡拉丘兹大学）、Mark Green（凯斯西储大学）以及Scott Bailey（USFS）。HBWatER当前的经费支持来自美国国家科学基金会长期生态研究项目（NSF LTREB #1907683）与美国农业部林务局北部研究站。
本数据集的采集工作隶属于哈伯德布鲁克生态研究（Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study，HBES）。HBES是设于哈伯德布鲁克实验林的协作研究项目，该实验林由美国农业部林务局北部研究站运营与维护。
