Climate:
Site located just upstream from gaging station GSMACK, over Mack Creek. Canopy continuous but thin relative to other canopied sites in the HJ Andrews. Radiation highly blocked by topography during winter months; this section of Mack Creek watershed narrow and steep. Site no longer operational so canopy image a best guess. Likely susceptible to cold-air drainage, since over a stream. (JWS 2001)
