Infilled precipitation data for D1 chart recorder, 1952 - 2018, daily

Precipitation data have been collected at the D1 climate station (3739 m asl) almost continuously from 1952 to the present. D1 is on a narrow, exposed ridge on the westernmost part of Niwot Ridge, 2.6 km east of and ca. 200 m lower in elevation than the Continental Divide. Surrounding vegetation is...

D1 is on a narrow, exposed ridge on the westernmost part of Niwot Ridge, 2.6 km east of and ca. 200 m lower in elevation than the Continental Divide. Surrounding vegetation is low-stature alpine tundra. Through 1969, precipitation was recorded using an unshielded U.S. Weather Bureau standard totalizing gauge, with observations manually recorded on an approximately weekly basis. Starting in 1965, daily precipitation has been recorded using a Belford weighing-bucket gauge with chart recorder and with an Alter-type shield encircled by a Wyoming-snow fence. Overlap in the two records was used to adjust the totalizing gauge record so that it could be merged with the weighing-bucket gauge record (see Methods). Missing daily data were infilled and multiday records were parsed to dailies (see Methods). Dataset Tundra DataCite Metadata Store (German National Library of Science and Technology)
