Abstract:

Hubbard Brook weather notes (aka field notes) are daily weather observations by technicians at Hubbard Brook – a record that began in 1990, and continues today. Weekend weather notes are often from their homes in Thornton, Campton or Plymouth NH. These notes capture subtle details in weather that are not recorded by sensors at Hubbard Brook. These may include, but are not limited to, thunderstorms, frontal passages, named storms (i.e. Hurricanes, Tropical storms), fog, ground surface frost, precipitation type, and cloud types.

Temperature and precipitation data are noted on the weather not sheets – these data are from hygrothermographs and precipitation recording rain gage at STA/RG22 (Hubbard Brook Headquarters), and beginning in 2014-15, from digital sensors. Note that temperature and precipitation from these handwritten sheets should not be used in data analysis. Temperature and precipitation finalized QA/QC products are available in digital format at the links below. The handwritten weather notes should be used as reference only.

These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
