| Abstract: |
This dataset contains the hourly output from Wind sensors for the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest (BCEF). Any wind 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.

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.
