Rainwater Measurements
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/648.007

Summary
The BioAerosols and Convective Storms (BACS) campaign aims to study the
concentrations, distributions, types and wet deposition of bioaerosols
surrounding periods of convective storms in a grassland environment. This data
includes rainwater measurements taken at the Central Plains Experimental Range
(CPER), which is a National Ecological Observation Network (NEON) site located
in Colorado, USA (40.8155, -104.7456) from May 23 – June 17, 2022, and from
May 22 – June 23, 2023. Rainwater samples were collected in soil plot 3
located northwest of the NEON flux tower. Samplers were checked daily, and
rainwater was collected for analysis whenever any accumulation was observed.
