Microclimate at Harvard Forest HDW Tower since 2014

The HDW (Hardwood) microclimate and walkup tower at Harvard Forest became operational in April 2014. The site was chosen to represent the mixed hardwood forest around the EMS and NEON towers and to provide a platform for research projects without access to those towers. Microclimate data are archived annually and recent data are available upon request. Measured values include air temperature, relative humidity, PAR, net radiation, albedo, wind speed and direction, soil temperature and soil moisture.
