  • The Sevilleta Field Station Meteorological Network (SevMET) is a spatially distributed, long-term climate monitoring network established to enhance and expand climate monitoring across a variety of dryland ecosystems (e.g., grasslands, shrublands, woodlands) within the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in central New Mexico. Ecosystem processes in drylands are strongly regulated by climatic drivers that are highly variable in space and time, both within and among years. Therefore, accurate measurement of environmental variables at high spatial and temporal resolution is fundamental to understanding biophysical processes in these ecosystems.

    SevMET consists of fifteen standardized research-grade weather stations located across multiple dryland ecosystem types (e.g., grasslands, shrublands, woodlands) representative of the southwestern US. Stations continuously measure a standard suite of meteorological variables at five-minute intervals, including air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, photosynthetically active radiation, incoming shortwave radiation, wind speed and direction, dew point, vapor pressure, and, at a subset of stations, barometric pressure. Stations also measure a suite of soil parameters (bulk electrical conductivity, dielectric permittivity, temperature, and volumetric water content) at six depths (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 cm) below the ground surface using 1-2 integrated soil profilers. Additionally, phenocams at each station capture images at thirty-minute intervals during daylight hours.

    This data package contains high-frequency meteorological measurements from the Sevilleta Field Station Meteorological Station (FSTN). Phenocam images can be accessed through the PhenoCam Network at: https://phenocam.nau.edu/webcam/sites/sevmetfstn/. These data complement and extend meteorological data recorded by an adjacent station (Met01), accessible at: https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-sev&identifier=1.
