Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS) are weather stations set up on tripods, and they look like little “Lunar Landers.” The data collected from these stations are used in numerous applications, …
CraterNet consists of 13 weather stations located in Haleakalā crater (a large erosional depression near the summit) as part of an effort to monitor endemic plant and insect species at …
The Haleakalā Climate Network consists of two transects of climate stations along the leeward and windward slopes of Haleakalā Volcano, Maui Island, Hawai‘i. The upper elevation stations are within Haleakalā National Park. HaleNet was established in 1988-90 on the relatively dry west-northwest facing (leeward) slope. The first stations were established in June 1988 at elevations of 960, 1640, and 2120 m…
The Natural Area Reserve at the summit of Mt. Kaʻala on the island of Oʻahu serves as a refugia for native biodiversity and is of special ecohydrological significance as the forest captures water directly from passing clouds…
