  Runoff/readme.txt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:

Runoff represent the 0.3km^2 watershed representing the Control section in the 
Biocomplexity Experiment, Barrow, Alaska.  Runoff measurements were made with 
a flow meter (Flo-MateTM Model 2000, Marsh-McBirney) in early morning 
(low-flow) and early evening (high-flow) throughout the spring runoff period 
with simultaneous readings of water levels (HOBO U20-001-04-Ti) to obtain a 
stage-discharge relationship.

Description:

Snow ablation measurements. Each density value is based upon 5 snow samples.
Each snow depth value is based upon 50 measurements done by probing the 
snowpack.

  SoilMoisture/readme.txt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:

Soil moisture measurements made by CS616 sensors. The data is presented as % 
saturation, which is described by Hinzman et al (1991) Hinzman, L. D., D. L. 
Kane, R. E. Gieck, and K. R. Everett (1991), Hydrologic and thermal properties 
of the active layer in the Alaskan Arctic, Cold Regions Sci. Technol., 19,

  SoilTemperature/readme.txt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: 

Soil temperatures measured with a YSI precision thermistor, 44033RC, and stored 
on a CR10X datalogger. Each site includes two depth measurements one at the 
interface between live and dead organic (0 cm) and the second at 7 to 10 cm 
depth, which is within the organic layer. The site location was measured using 
a DGPS. "9999" represents missing or bad data.
