Product Details

Title: Marcell Experimental Forest cumulative hydrology database, 1960–2000.

Author: Verry, Elon S.; Elling, Arthur E.

Year: 2005

Product ID: RDS-NC-4351-2005-001

Abstract: This database contains soils, weather, and hydrologic data collected at the Marcell Experimental Forest from 1960–2000. The data came from six peatland / upland forest watersheds instrumented for hydrologic monitoring.

The particular variables measured are daily temperature (maximum, minimum, average), daily precipitation, daily water table, daily runoff, monthly water table, monthly maximum runoff (maximum flow head height, peak flow rate), maximum rain runoff, maximum snow runoff, monthly total runoff, frost (frost thickness, frost occurrence as percent of area) by covertype (conifer, deciduous, open), frost in bogs (depth to frost layer, frost thickness, frost occurrence as percent of area), maximum snowpack (maximum snow water content, maximum snowpack depth), soil temperature, soil properties (bulk density, soil moisture at 15 BAR), and soil available water.

Not all variables were measured at all watersheds in all years.
