Hourly Climate Station Data Across the Haleakala Silversword Range, Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii, 2010-2016
Abstract
This dataset is a collection of hourly climate data from a network of six climate stations installed across the range of the Haleakala silversword (Argyroxiphium sandwicense macrocephalum), in the subalpine shrubland ecosystem of Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii. The stations are Lava Lake, Puu Nole, Puu o Pele, Silversword Loop, Sliding Sands, and South Rim. At each station, measurements include rainfall, leaf wetness, air temperature, relative humidity, soil temperature, soil moisture (in exposed bare soil and underneath a silversword), and calculated vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Data span July 2010 through July 2016. This collection combines the related station data files into a single metadata record; see the Entity and Attribute section for a description of each station file.These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS's policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in 502.8 - Fundamental Science Practices: Review, Approval, and Release of USGS Scientific Data.
