These sensors are able to detect .254mm of precipitation and record hourly totals of rainfall or throughfall. It should be noted the tipping buckets within forested sites are subject to clogging by forest debris whcih can result in under reporting of rain events as well as over reporting upon release of the collected precipitation. There is data from floodplains to upland sites along a range of successional gradients. BCEF Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest precipitation weather relative humidity Climate

Sites included in this dataset are LTER1 and LTER2. 1989 - 1995 Data were recorded with Omnidata easyloggers. Data were recorded with a Campbell 21X datalogger after 1994. Precipitation was recorded with the following sensors: Summer: Sierra misco tipping bucket Winter: Belfort weighing bucket, a mixure of antifreeze,methanol and mineral oil is used to convert snow into liquid form and to prevent evaporation.
