Abstract

The 3,160-ha Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF) in New Hampshire has been a prime area of research on forest and stream ecosystems since its establishment by the USDA Forest Service in 1955. Streamflow and precipitation have been measured continuously on the HBEF, and long-term datasets exist for air and soil temperature, snow cover, soil frost, solar radiation, windspeed and direction, and humidity. This information has provided the basis for hundreds of publications by Forest Service and cooperating scientists on numerous aspects of forest hydrology research as part of the ongoing Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study. This report updates the tables, methods, watershed descriptions, and other pertinent data in ?Thirty Years of Hydrometeorological Data at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, New Hampshire? (General Technical Report NE-141).

Keywords
