Abstract:
This data set includes daily year-round weather measurements and observations recorded at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) from 1980-present. Parameters include maximum and minimum temperatures, precipitation, snowfall, snowpack, and estimated cloud cover and type recorded daily at approximately 08:00. Maximum and minimum temperatures were measured at the Biological Station campus with National Weather Service liquid-in-glass thermometers housed in a Cotton Region Shelter located on State Road. Precipitation was measured in the “UV Field” located immediately northwest of the Biological Station campus with a Belfort Rainfall Transmitter 5915 from 1/1/1980 to 1/7/2020 and with an ETI NOAH IV Total Precipitation Gauge from 5/12/2009 to present. Snowfall and snowpack were measured in the UV Field on snowboards according to National Weather Service snow measurement guidelines. Cloud cover was estimated in oktas and classified into one of the ten basic cloud types.
