Summer microclimatic observations on the Saddle: Daily data.
The objective of this field campaign was to measure microclimatic variables within a mid-latitude alpine tundra zone during the growing season (June - August), and to relate those observations to ecosystem processes and landscape patterns. Microclimatic data were recorded using a Campbell CR21X micr...

Microclimatic data were recorded using a Campbell CR21X micrologger on the east and west knolls of the Niwot Ridge Saddle grid.
