Daily precipitation from a network of weighing rain gauges on the Jornada Experimental Range (Jornada Basin LTER), 1976-2011.

Published by Agricultural Research Service | Department of Agriculture | Metadata Last Checked: June 24, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-11-30
<p>This completed dataset contains daily precipitation measurements from a network of weighing rain gauges (Belfort Universal Precipitation Gauges, Series 5-780) at 58 locations on the Jornada Experimental Range in Dona Ana County, New Mexico, USA between January 1976 and December 2011. Locations and the dates during which data were collected were generally project-oriented. Temporal coverage per location is quite variable and ranges between 1,647 and 13,024 days. The network was maintained by USDA Agricultural Research Service personnel. After 2011 the remaining weighing rain gauges were replaced by tipping bucket gauges and those data are available separately. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Website Pointer to html file.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-jrn&identifier=210407001">https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-jrn&identifier=210407001</a> </p><p>Webpage with information and links to data files for download</p></li></ul><p></p>
