Open Lowland Environmental Monitoring Station, Black Rock Forest, NY, raw hourly data

Alternate Identifier:

DOI PLACE HOLDER

Abstract:

Black Rock Forest maintains the Open Lowland real-time weather station at 129 Continental Rd, Cornwall, NY. The system was designed to measure air temperature (average, maximum, minimum), relative humidity (average, maximum, minimum), average vapor pressure, dew point temperature, photosynthetically active solar radiation, net global solar radiation, mean horizontal wind speed, mean wind direction, standard deviation of wind direction, maximum wind speed, precipitation amount, barometric pressure (average, maximum, minimum), and average soil temperature at two depths. Other sensors are used to measure snow depth, CO2 concentration, and albedo.

Data are collected from the Open Lowland Station using a CR1000. Most instruments have a sample interval of 1 minute. The program records averages, minimum or maximum of those 1-minute readings every hour. Rainfall is totals for the 1 hour period.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

The system was designed to measure air temperature (average, maximum, minimum), relative humidity (average, maximum, minimum), average vapor pressure, dew point temperature, photosynthetically active solar radiation, net global solar radiation, mean horizontal wind speed, mean wind direction, standard deviation of wind direction, maximum wind speed, precipitation amount, barometric pressure (average, maximum, minimum), and average soil temperature at 10cm below and 100cm below the surface.

Hourly summaries are calculated by the datalogger.

The sensor station is constructed using a tripod base and powered by a 12 Volt battery. The batteries are charged with solar panels. The Wind Monitor and pyranometer are mounted to a level cross arm at the top of the tripod. The arm points North to South with the wind sensor on the North side, 10’ 2” off the ground, and the pyranometer on the South. The Quantum sensor is mounted on a level base attached to an arm 17” below a bell on the top of the tripod. The Temperature/RH probe is mounted on the West side of the main support of the tripod. The box that houses the data logger and barometric pressure sensor is mounted just above the legs of the tripod facing south. Soil temperature probes were buried in the ground at the base of the tripod. The rain gage was installed on level ground with the lip of the bucket 1 meter above the ground. It is surrounded by an alter type windshield. The top of the windshield is 8” above the lip of the bucket.

Data are not adjusted for day light savings time.

Abstract:

Black Rock Forest is a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization with a mission of advancing scientific understanding of the natural world through research, education, and conservation programs. The organization maintains a 3,920-acre forest and a scientific field station in the Hudson Highlands, 60 miles north of New York City. We collaborate with our Consortium members – universities, schools, scientific and cultural institutions – to pursue and foster scientific inquiry, and to create educational programs for K-16 students, teachers, and the general public. Black Rock Forest works with many partners to pursue conservation goals in the Hudson Highlands and the greater mid-Hudson Valley region.

Black Rock Forest maintains an array of environmental monitoring stations and provides real-time climate and streamflow data.

Maintenance

Maintenance:

Description:	Raw dat files from CR1000 compiled from 2014. The data are raw - values were not infilled. Quality control and assurance queries (e.g. negative values, values beyond ranges of instrument, etc.) were not done, but recommended prior to analysis. Many instruments have not been fully maintained since initial installation or have been broken over time. As of 2022, ozone, CO2, albedo, and snow depth sensors are not active.
