Discharge values for three subcatchments (B201, B203, B204) of Bull Creek plus another nearby small catchment in the Teakettle Experimental Forest (T003). Values are presented by water year (previous October 01 through September 30 of named year). 15 min data were compressed to hourly and daily during the data processing procedure. B201, B203, and B204 flow is channelized through two Parshall flumes (small 2 feet). T003 flow is channelized through a 120 degree v-notch weir. At all sites stream stage and discharge are measured using a Teledyne-Isco 6712 with 730 bubbler. High flow stream stage and discharge are measured using an Advanced Measurements & Controls Inc. Aquarod AR100

This met station is located at the Bull Creek site of the Kings River Experimental Watershed (KREW). Both the Providence and Bull Creek met stations were erected by the Forest Service Pacific Southwest research station as part of the KREW project using the same methods and sensors. Data processing was conducted by the CZO using the same programs. The Bull creek site acts as a nearby paired area, approximately 400 m higher in elevation than the Providence sites.

ABSTRACT:

Southern Sierra CZO Lidar flight was acquired in 2010 and consists of 2 flights - Snow on (3/14/2010 - 3/24/2010) and snow off (8/5/2010 - 8/15/2010).

Each flight has 6 sub-areas defined as: Bull (Area 1), Courtwright Road (Area 2), Providence (Area 3), San Joaquin Range (Area 4), Soaproot Saddle (Area 5), and Wolverton (Area 6).

The datasets include 1m digital surface model (filtered and unfiltered), 1m digital elevation models (filtered and unfiltered), and the raw Lidar point clouds (LAS format) in 1 km by 1 km tiles.

These data are publicly available at OpenTopography.

Kings River Experimental Watershed (KREW): Providence Upper Met data collected by water year (previous October 01 through September 30 of named year). Standard meteorological data are being collected at the Upper Providence site using a Campbell Scientific logger to control peripheral devices. The data are remotely downloaded via radio modem through the USFS radio network. A 15 watt solar panel provides power to continuously monitor temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, radiation, snow depth, snow density and rainfall intensity at 15 minute intervals. Data processing compresses data to hourly and daily intervals. Providence Upper Met is located at an elevation of 1981 m.

Snow depth, soil moisture and soil temperature are measured at the lower Providence meteorological site, from a location with a north facing aspect, using a Campbell Scientific logger to control peripheral devices. Snow depth is measured at 5 nodes in the open, at the drip edge and under canopies of an incense-cedar and white fir tree. Soil moisture and temperature are measured at 10, 30, 60, and 90 cm depths coincident with the snow depth nodes. A 10 watt solar panel provides power for monitoring at 10 minute intervals. Data processing compresses to hourly values.

The lower Providence meteorological site (approximately 1750 m) is located within the larger Providence headwater catchment.

Kings River Experimental Watershed (KREW): Discharge values for Providence creek catchment and three subcatchments (P301, P303, and P304) plus another nearby small catchment (D102). Values are presented by water year (previous October 01 through September 30 of named year). 15 min data were compressed to hourly and daily during the data processing procedure. Further information on data processing is available at the https://eng.ucmerced.edu/snsjho/files/MHWG/Field/Southern_Sierra_CZO_KREW/Providence_Creek/Discharge/Level_1b/ SSCZO digital library.

P301, P303, P304, D102 flow is channelized through two Parshall flumes (small >3 inch and large >1 feet). P300 flow is channelized through a 120 degree v-notch weir. At all sites stream stage and discharge are measured using a Teledyne-Isco 6712 with 730 bubbler. High flow stream stage and discharge are measured using an Advanced Measurements & Controls Inc. Aquarod AR100

ABSTRACT:

An array of sensors distributed around Critical Zone Tree-1 provides highly detailed data on the water balance of a single white fir (Abies concolor) tree. Data are logged on a refined spatial and temporal scale. See the map tab for more information on the sensor and soil pit locations. Soil volumetric water content (VWC) temperature, and electrical conductivity measured using http://www.decagon.com/soil-moisture-sensors/ Decagon Devices 5-TE sensor at depths of 10, 30, 60, and 90 cm below the mineral soil surface in 6 soil pits. Pits range from 1-5 m from CZT-1.

Like the CZT-1 site, a number of sensors are arrayed around the Critical Zone Tree 2 to provide spatially and temporally resolved data on the water balance of a single tree. CZT-2 is a Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa). At this tree, 8 pits are arranged in the cardinal directions, up to 5 m from the tree. Soil temperature, moisture, and matric potential sensors are installed in each pit at depths of 15, 30, 60 cm, and deeper when soil depth allows below the mineral soil surface.

Data control and storage on Campbell Scientific CR1000 dataloggers, using AM16/32B multiplexers.

Soil volumetric water content (VWC) temperature, and electrical conductivity measured using Decagon Devices 5-TE sensors at depths of 15, 30, 60 cm, and deeper when soil depth allows below the mineral soil surface.

Soil matric potential (SWP) measured using Decagon Devices MPS-1 sensor and tensiometers.

SSCZO -- Soil Moisture, Soil Temperature, Snow Depth -- P301 Water Balance Transect -- (2011-2018)
Created: Nov. 19, 2019, 2:39 a.m.
Authors: Roger Bales · Steven Glaser

ABSTRACT:

A wireless sensor network is distributed across the P301 Subcatchment basin P301. Each node has a series of ecological sensors to monitor snow depth, soil moisture, soil temperature, and global solar radiation, as well as a mote to communicate with the rest of the wireless sensor network. Each node in this network is designed to withstand the harsh mountain conditions, and the redundant nature of the wireless network provides stability and flexibility for communication to continue even if one of the motes is impacted.

The specific sensors were located to track variability in water balance variables between different tree species, as well as differences between locations under the tree canopy, at the drip edge of the canopy, and in open canopy areas. Additional sensors are located in the P301 meadow to provide additional data for meadow hydrology studies.

SSCZO -- LiDAR, Digital Elevation Model (DEM), Snow Survey -- Snow-on, Snow-off Flyover -- Southern Sierra Nevada -- (2010-2010)
Created: Nov. 19, 2019, 7:37 a.m.
Authors: Qinghua Guo · Roger Bales · National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping

ABSTRACT:

Southern Sierra CZO Lidar flight was acquired in 2010 and consists of 2 flights - Snow on (3/14/2010 - 3/24/2010) and snow off (8/5/2010 - 8/15/2010).

Each flight has 6 sub-areas defined as: Bull (Area 1), Courtwright Road (Area 2), Providence (Area 3), San Joaquin Range (Area 4), Soaproot Saddle (Area 5), and Wolverton (Area 6).

The datasets include 1m digital surface model (filtered and unfiltered), 1m digital elevation models (filtered and unfiltered), and the raw Lidar point clouds (LAS format) in 1 km by 1 km tiles.

These data are publicly available at OpenTopography.

Discharge values for three subcatchments (B201, B203, B204) of Bull Creek plus another nearby small catchment in the Teakettle Experimental Forest (T003). Values are presented by water year (previous October 01 through September 30 of named year). 15 min data were compressed to hourly and daily during the data processing procedure. B201, B203, and B204 flow is channelized through two Parshall flumes (small 2 feet). T003 flow is channelized through a 120 degree v-notch weir. At all sites stream stage and discharge are measured using a Teledyne-Isco 6712 with 730 bubbler. High flow stream stage and discharge are measured using an Advanced Measurements & Controls Inc. Aquarod AR100

This met station is located at the Bull Creek site of the Kings River Experimental Watershed (KREW). Both the Providence and Bull Creek met stations were erected by the Forest Service Pacific Southwest research station as part of the KREW project using the same methods and sensors. Data processing was conducted by the CZO using the same programs. The Bull creek site acts as a nearby paired area, approximately 400 m higher in elevation than the Providence sites. See additional information on the https://eng.ucmerced.edu/snsjho/files/MHWG/Field/Southern_Sierra_CZO_KREW/Bull_Creek/Discharge/Level_1b/Bull_stream_Methods.txt methods, including sensors used, and https://eng.ucmerced.edu/snsjho/files/MHWG/Field/Southern_Sierra_CZO_KREW/Bull_Creek/Discharge/Level_1b/Bull_stream_site.txt site .
