The Southwest Watershed Research Center (SWRC) has operated Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (WGEW), located in the vicinity of Tombstone, Arizona, for more than 50 years. A 17 year (1990-2006) meteorological and soil hydrology database has been established by the USDA Agricultural Research Service, SWRC. Data have been acquired at 3 automated weather stations, 5 soil profile trench sites, and 19 locations dispersed across the watershed colocated with recording rain gauges. Meteorological elements measured at the weather stations include air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, barometric pressure, solar radiation, photosynthetically active radiation, and net radiation. Net radiation is measured at LHMet and KENMet. A single sensor is used to measure each variable at each AWS. Barometric pressure is sampled once and output at the output time step; all other sensors are sampled every 10 seconds and averaged at the output time step, either 20 or 60 minutes. Manufacturer supplied calibration or conversion factors are employed to report output in standard units. Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: GeoData catalog record.
