New and Revised Datasets
Hubbard Brook investigators have published LOTS of new data in the Environmental Data
Initiative (EDI) Repository in 2020, bringing our data packages added to EDI since our LTER renewal to 62, for a total of 210!
There are still more in the queue, but keep sending them along—reaching a milestone of 100 new datasests during this LTER funding cycle would be great. We recently added a bird audio file dataset, which was our largest data package to date (30Gb). We were able to package and document that dataset following the newly developed EDI/LTER best practices that address data types that don't fall into our traditional tabular dataset category (audio, images, video, documents, code, models, spatial, drone, etc). If you have any of those data types that support your research, this is a great time to think about getting them into the EDI Repository.
The Forest Service team at HBEF has also updated many of the long-term datasets. Station and watershed-level precipitation, current through August 2020, and 15-minute resolution precipitation data from 2011-2020 are online now. Datasets that will be added/updated soon include 15-minute air temperature, wind, solar radiation, and barometric pressure. Nina Lany (
nina.lany@usda.gov) now handles the development and upload of the data packages for the long-term Forest Service Hydro and MET datasets, and can be contacted with any questions.
We have also increased the discoverability of data collected by the Forest Service by
registering the EDI data packages with the Forest Service Research Data Archive
Hubbard Brook's Hydro and MET long-term data, and will be directed to EDI for data
download.
New datasets and updated long-term data can be found at the links below. To view the
research data for submission to EDI. Note that the EDI repository is available for other
ecological data outside of the scope of LTER; if you have data that falls in that category, Mary can provide tips and resources to jump-start that process.
