Description:

Abstract:

Meteorological Instruments for the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest that are not located within the benchmark or secondary meterological weather station. (These are specific instrument sites that have been located with GPS. They are associated with the benchmark meterological sites). See metstation coverage for benchmark and secondary stations)

Purpose:

To document the locations of the meteorological instruments for use with research projects and for use with data collected at these sites.
