<description descriptionType="Abstract">
Snow depth, soil moisture and soil temperature are measured at lower
Providence South facing (LowMetS) and North facing (LowMetN), Upper
Providence South facing (UpMetS), North facing (UpMetN) and Flat aspect
(UpMetF), and Subcatchment basin P301 (P301) with a wireless sensor
network, using a Campbell Scientific logger to control peripheral devices.
Snow depth is measured in the open, at the drip edge and under canopies.
Soil moisture and temperature are measured at 10, 30, 60 and 90 cm depths
coincident with the snow depth nodes. 10 watt solar panels provides power
for monitoring at 10 minute intervals. Raw data have been processed to
level 1 (QA/QC) and level 2 (gap-filled, derived) data. Time period: water
year 2008 through water year 2012 (version 1), 2013 to 2016 (version 2).

<description descriptionType="Methods">
Soil volumetric water content (VWC) and soil temperature measured using
Decagon Devices ECHO-TM at depths of 10, 30, 60, an 90 cm below the
mineral soil surface. Sensor now equivalent to 5TM
(http://www.decagon.com/soil-moisture-sensors/). Distance to snow/soil
surface and air temperature measured with Judd Communications ultrasonic
depth sensor, using analog control ( http://www.juddcom.com/ ). Data
control and storage on Campbell Scientific CR1000 datalogger, using
AM16/32B multiplexer ( http://www.campbellsci.com ). Program for data
acquisition are located on UC Merced-SNRI digital library (
https://eng.ucmerced.edu/snsjho/files/MHWG/Field/Southern...)
