Weather station data acquired across multiple locations in the Teakettle Experimental Forest, California, 2011-2017

These weather station records were collected as part of a larger study relating microclimates to tree seedling survival in southern California mountains. These weather station records are for studies at the Teakettle Experimental Forest (Lat 36.967, Long -119.017, elevation 2000-2800 m, www.fs.fed.us/psw/ef/teakettle/). Weather stations were located at six sites across the Teakettle Experimental Forest landscape. Sites were selected to sample topographic variation in surface and air temperatures within a narrow range of elevations on northeast to southwest-facing slopes, ridges, and valleys. Three full weather stations (north slope, south slope, and valley floor) monitored precipitation, wind, insolation, temperature, relative humidity, and soil moisture. Data were recorded on a 10-minute interval using HOBO (Onset, www.onsetcomp.com) devices.
