Long‐Term Climate Database, Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed, Idaho, United States

Abstract

A 33 year (1964–1996), climatic database has been developed for three climate stations on the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed located near the north end of the Owyhee Mountains in southwest Idaho. The longest records (1964–1996) are for daily maximum and minimum air temperature. The length of record for other weather elements that include hourly air temperature, relative humidity, dew point temperature, vapor pressure, solar radiation, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, and daily class A pan evaporation varies, but, in general, the record is from 1974–1996. These data can be accessed from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Northwest Watershed Research Center database through the anonymous ftp site: ftp.nwrc.ars.usda.gov.
