In 2002 it was increased to 48m</div><div><br></div><div>The data from 48m should be considered a separate data series from the data at 42m. Wind speed is significantly higher at 48m due to the distance to the top of the canopy.</div><div><br></div><div>The Clearing is a small, open area surrounded by forest and some buildings. Station established in 1972. Consists of a Stevenson screen with max/min thermometers and air pressure sensor. Temperature/humidity sensor, rain gauge and evaporation sensors are located at various locations around the screen.</div> 2020-07-10 12:31:50 environmental monitoring Meteorology temperature Relative humidity solar radiation pyranometer wind speed wind direction hydrology run-off evapotranspiration rates Environmental Monitoring
