Title: Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest: Vapor Pressure measurements: hourly (1988 - Present)
Contacts: Charlton, Brian
Hollingsworth, Jamie
Yarie, John
Abstract: Calculated values using the air temperature and relative humidty data.
Keywords: Pressure,  vapor pressure, 
Categories: Climate
Study Period: Jun 1, 1988 to Aug 3, 2007
Bounding Box: West longitude: -148.3537914°
North latitude:  64.7666796°
East longitude: -148.1426888°
South latitude: 64.67834557°
Site References: FP1A -- FP1A is located on a low early successional terrace (1.8 - 2 m above winter low river level) adjacent to the Tanana River. Vegetation establishment occurred in 1982 to 1983. Significant bank erosion has occurred since the establishment of the study area, resulting in loss of some study plots.
FP2A -- FP2A is located adjacent to the LTER-2 weather station on a terrace that formed ca 1965.
FP3A -- Mixed Balsam Poplar and White Spruce (Open Populus balsamifera-Picea glauca community)
FP4A -- Mature white spruce
FP5A -- Black spruce
FP5C -- FP5C is located on an older terrace of the Tanana River on the south side of the river opposite Sam Charley island
LTER1 -- 100 (LTER1) is the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest's primary upland weather station. More intensive climate data is collected at this station than the other upland stations.
LTER2 -- LTER2, the second Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest full weather station, was established to monitor the climate of the floodplain region of BCEF. This site is located adjacent to the Tanana River in BCEF.
UP1A -- UP1A was established to follow the development of vegetation following the burning of a well developed 200 year old white spruce stand on a south facing slope. The vegetation has progressed from an herbaceous community following the fire to an open hardwood stand.
UP2A -- Closed Mixed White Spruce - Paper Birch Stand
UP3A -- Mature white spruce spruce stand on a south-facing slope
UP4A --
