| Summary: | Thirty-one years of spatially distributed air temperature, relative humidity,
dew point temperature, precipitation amount, and precipitation phase data are
presented for the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed, which is part of the
Critical Zone Observatory network. The air temperature, relative humidity,
and precipitation amount data are spatially distributed over a 10 m
lidar-derived digital elevation model at an hourly time step using a
detrended kriging algorithm. This 21 TB dataset covers a wide range of
weather extremes in a mesoscale basin (238 km<sup>2</sup>) that encompasses the
rain–snow transition zone and should find widespread application in earth
science modeling communities. Spatial data allow for a more holistic
analysis of basin means and elevation gradients, compared to weather station
data measured at specific locations. Files are stored in the NetCDF file
format, which allows for easy spatiotemporal averaging and/or subsetting.
Data are made publicly available through an OPeNDAP-enabled THREDDS server
hosted by Boise State University Libraries in support of the Reynolds Creek
Critical Zone Observatory (<a href="https://doi.org/10.18122/B2B59V" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.18122/B2B59V</a>). |
