*** An error has been caught in time codes. The time codes currently read GMT-5:00. The CORRECT time code is GMT-7:00 for all datasets .*** These data are the complete data set from installation through March 15, 2018 for AGCI's interactive Roaring Fork Observation Network (iRON). The network consists of 9 stations in the Southern Rockies (Colorado, USA). Descriptions of soil type and site locations can be found at: www.agci.org/iron/stations Please note: Measurements taken for rain are recorded via tipping bucket rain gauge and may not be accurate for winter precipitation events (e.g. snow). Error readings are represented by -888.88, -138.25, or -162.469 represents a sensor error. Absent data is represented by N/A. Sensors used for soil moisture readings are Decagon EC-5 Dielectric probe (5cm/2in depth); Decagon 10-HS (20cm/8in; 50cm/20in depths). All other equipment is Onset, and the logger device is the RX3000 model. Data collection is generally set to every 20 minutes (most stations) or every hour (Independence Pass station), but maintenance resets, etc. may occasionally have contributed to other collection intervals, e.g. every 5 minutes. Conversely, on occasions of logger failure, there may be full days of data absent. Snow data are available for Northstar Transition Zone and Independence Pass by request. Updated calibrations (V2) are anticipated in the summer of 2018 for the following stations: Glassier Ranch (3), Glenwood Springs (5), Northstar Transition Zone (7), Spring Valley (8) Some instruments have been replaced over the life of a station. In 2015, all original U30 logger boxes were replaced with the RX3000 model. For complete metadata or records of instrumentation, please contact project advisor E. Osenga at eliseo at agci.org. **Glassier Ranch site is a wetland and the soils are often completely saturated (leading to sensor difficulties in taking accurate readings) much of the year.
