The effects of aspect, canopy, elevation, and season both singly
and in combination on soil temperatures at 50 cm depths were
evaluated.
The objectives of the study were (i) to develop a standard procedure
for obtaining soil temperature data adequate to classify soils
at the family and great group levels,...
A thermal infrared (TIR) camera is used to remotely sense the foliage temperature in a mountain valley. The foliage temperature is used as a proxy for air temperature and can be used to study and map the dynamics of the nocturnal, weak-wind boundary layer in this valley. All radiative flux...
Snowpack impacts and trends in precipitation regimes are investigated for the mountainous western United States from water years 1984–2016. The vast majority of snow trend studies utilize undifferentiated air temperature records, which do not segregate between days with and without precipitation and effectually dilute temperature trends relevant for snowpack monitoring....
Our primary purpose in developing this instrument is to measure
vertical temperature fluctuations in the ocean to the smallest scales at
which they exist. This goal dictates the basic concept of the instrument,
as C. S. Cox saw in the 1960's. Vertical temperature changes are seen
as changes with time...
The H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest in the Cascades of
central Oregon provides a unique opportunity to study spatial
climate patterns on a relatively small scale. Historical
records at the 64 square-kilometer site provide a spatiallydense
30-year dataset. Thermal regimes at the H. J. Andrews
are generally known but the...
