Title: Caribou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed: Hourly Air Temperature (mean, min, max) at 10 cm and 1000 cm from 1995 to Present
Contacts: Charlton, Brian
Hollingsworth, Jamie
Yarie, John
Abstract: This dataset contains the hourly output from Temperature sensors for the Cariou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed (CPCRW). Any temperature data collected in this area is reported here. This includes Level 3 weather stations as well as smaller scale and temporal studies. This data can be sorted and viewed by site, year, hour, height of measurement, mean, min, and max value. Updates of each site are different since some are still on going while other had only a 2-3 year life cycle. This information can be found in the site descriptions and in the metadata.

CPEAK -- This is a weather station on the summit of Caribou Peak (2537' / 773m ASL) in the Caribou Poker Creeks Research Watershed. It consists of a 10-meter tower with various atmospheric sensors and ground temperature thermistors at eleven different depths. More information can be found at CPCRW Real Time Meteorological Stations at the Water and Environmental Research Center
CRREL-Met -- This is considered the primary climate station in the Caribou Poker Creeks Research Watershed. Located in the lower part of the watershed near the confluence of Caribou and Poker creeks, this station consists of a 12-meter tower with various atmospheric sensors, a separate tower with long and short wave radiometers, ground temperature sensors and soil moisture probes at various depths, plus an older site about 25 meters away with two air temperature sensors and additional ground temperature thermistors. More information can be found at CPCRW Real Time Meteorological Stations at the Water and Environmental Research Center
CT1600 -- This is a meteorological site along the Caribou Peak trail, at an elevation of 1600 feet above sea level. More information can be found at CPCRW Real Time Meteorological Stations at the Water and Environmental Research Center
CT2100 -- This is a meteorological site along the Caribou Peak trail, at an elevation of 2100 feet above sea level.
HR1A -- This is a meteorological site near the crest of Helmer's Ridge, just west of the C4 basin, and at an elevation of approximately 610 meters More information can be found at CPCRW Real Time Meteorological Stations at the Water and Environmental Research Center
