2015 Annual Weather Report Soil monitoring was installed at OrchardMet in the summer Smith College Ada & Archibald MacLeish Field Station Whately, Massachusetts, USA Written by Paul Wetzel & Molly Day (‘19) March 2016 Introduction Weather conditions at Smith College’s Ada & Archibald MacLeish Field Station are recorded at the WhatelyMet weather station. This weather collection site is located at the end of Poplar Hill Road in Whately, Massachusetts, USA (Latitude 42 deg. 26 min. 56 sec. N Longitude 72 deg. 40 min. 50 sec. W). The meteorological instruments of WhatelyMet (except the rain gauge) are mounted at the top of a tower 25.3 m tall, well above the surrounding forest canopy. The tower is located on a local ridge at an elevation 250.75 m above sea level. The second weather data collection site, known as WhatelyMet tower & bunker where data server is located 2 2015 MacLeish Field Station Weather Report OrchardMet Terrain surrounding OrchardMet. Note close proximity of trees to weather station. OrchardMet, is located about 250 m north of the first tower in an open field next to an apple orchard. Full canopy trees (~20 m tall) are within 30 m of this station. This station has a standard instrument configuration with temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, and barometric pressure measured between 1.5 and 2.0 m above the ground. Wind speed and direction are measured on a 10 m tall tower and precipitation is measured on the ground. Ground temperature is measured at 15 and 30 cm below the ground surface 2 m south of the tower. The tower is located 258.1 m above sea level. Data collection at OrchardMet began on June 27th, 2014. This report describes the weather data collected at WhatelyMet and OrchardMet during 2014. It provides highlights of the year’s weather as well as general trends that were observed. We hope that you find the report both interesting and useful.

The indicators are based on average daily temperatures and rainfall summations. Even though days are in the name of the temperature indicators, they do not actually reflect periods of 24 hours. The indicators really measure the number of degrees the average temperature was above or below a threshold temperature each day of the year. These values are described at http://ccr.aos.wisc.edu/climate_modeling/wisconsin_Climate/descriptions.php. All temperature terms were measured in degrees Celsius for this report. Freezing Degree Days—The number of degrees Celsius that the daily mean temperature is below 0 °C For example, two days with daily mean temperatures of -10 °C and 0 °C have 10 and 0 freezing degree days, respectively. Annual total freezing degree days are calculated by summing all of freezing degree days. Growing Degree Days—The number of degrees Celsius that the daily mean temperature exceeds 10 °C . For example, two days with daily mean temperatures of 15 °C and 10 °C have 5 and 0 growing degree days, respectively. Annual total growing degree days are calculated by summing all of growing degree days. Spring Onset Date—The first day of the year where the average high temperature of that day and the previous four days averages 10 °C and no subsequent five day period until mid-summer has an average high temperature below 6.1 °C. Last Spring Freeze Date—The last day between January 1st and mid-summer with a low temperature below 0 °C. First Autumn Freeze Date—The first day after mid-summer with a low temperature below 0 °C. Length of the Growing Season—The number of days between the last spring freeze and first autumn freeze. Frequency of 1” Precipitation Events—The number of days per year with precipitation of at least one inch (25.4 mm). Frequency of 2” Precipitation Events—The number of days per year with precipitation of at least two inches (50.8 mm). Frequency of 3” Precipitation Events—The number of days per year with precipitation of at least three inches (76.2 mm). 4 2015 MacLeish Field Station Weather Report Looking up the OrchardMet tower on a sunny day. Air Temperature & Relative Humidity The monthly average temperature in 2015 ranged from -6.4 °C in January to 21.6°C in July (Table 1, Figure 1). The highest recorded temperature at WhatelyMet was 31.6 °C on July 23th. The lowest recorded temperature was -21.4 °C on January 6th (Appendix A). The average daily temperature range recorded from both stations (daily maximum-minimum) was -10.5 °C. The maximum daily temperature range was 20.8 °C at both stations but occurred on May 4th at OrchardMet and on May 8th at WhatleyMet. The daily minimum Table 1.

However daily temperature ranges of less than three degrees also occurred on February 9th, April 9th, June 1st and June 28th. Percent average monthly relative humidity ranged from 56.4% (March) to 94% (December) (Table 2). Interestingly, WhatelyMet relative humidity values were noteably higher than OrchardMet values starting in August. It is unclear why this pattern occurred during the last part of the year.

The first autumn freeze date occurred on October 17th at WhatleyMet and on October 18th at OrchardMet. There were 539 freezing degree days. The spring freezing degree days occurred between January 1st and April 11 th, nonconsecutive. The fall freezing degree days occurred between November 31th and December 31st, nonconsecutive. The last spring freeze date occurred on April 25h. The growing season was 175 days. Soil Temperature & Moisture Soil temperature and moisture is measured near OrchardMet. Measurements are made at the soil surface, in the root zone (13 cm deep), at the bottom of the root zone (37 cm deep), and in the B layer at 96 cm deep. Ground cover is pasture grass. Measurements are made every second and logged hourly. Instruments were installed in September, 2015. Photo of soil temperature sensor at the surface of the soil profile (gray line).

Soil temperature at three depths. Soil temperature at the soil surface tracked the air temperature, fluctuating daily but declining from September to December with the coming of winter (Figure A). Surface temperatures went below freezing in January, 2016. Temperature at deeper levels also declined throughout the fall. The root zone temperature (37 cm deep) plateued at 2° C in January. The temperature about 1 m deep went as low as 4° C during the measurement period. B. Soil moisture at three different depths overlain with precipitation events. Photo of soil monitoring placement of soil moisture and temperature instrumentation. Instruments were placed from the surface to 96 cm deep. 8 2015 MacLeish Field Station Weather Report Soil moisture at all depths closely tracked precipitation events– even rain events as small as 2 mm in a day (Figure B). Soil moisture at 13 and 37 cm depths followed similar pathways through time, although the moisture level at 13 cm was slightly more variable. Soil moisture at 96 cm deep was less variable and more stable through time, ranging from 25 to 30% moisture. Wind North Number of Measurements Wind speed and direction is measured every second and then averaged and logged every 10 minutes at both weather stations. OrchardMet measures wind midway up the forest canopy (10 m high) in a small woodland clearing while WhatleyMet measures wind 25.3 m above the ground which is above the tree canopy. Wind Speed (m/s) Figure 3A. Wind direction and speed summary for OrchardMet in 2015. Left panel displays wind rose histogram of 10 minute average wind direction. The right panel displays a histogram of 10 minute average wind speeds. Wind speed and direction varied between the 10 m OrchardMet and the 25 m WhatleyMet. OrchardMet is located in a woodland clearing where winds are buffeted by trees of the forest canopy. Most wind comes from the west and southwest, with 67% of the time less than 1 m/s (Figure 3A). Wind speeds did not average over 3 m/s at any time of the year. WhatleyMet is above the forest canopy and recorded winds frequently from the northwest, west, and south during the year. Average wind velocities were higher, with 46% of the measurements falling between 1 and 2 m/s, with maximum average velocities up to 6 m/s (Figure 3B). 2015 MacLeish Field Station Weather Report 9 Number of Measurements North Wind Speed (m/s) Figure 3B.

The highest wind speed recorded was 30 m/s (67.1 mph). The strongest winds came from the west and south; maxium wind speeds from the east were all less than 10 m/s (22.4 mph). 2015 MacLeish Field Station Weather Report Precipitation A total of 1306 mm of precipitation was recorded at WhatelyMet during 2015 (Table 4). Although precipitation is relatively evenly distributed across the year, precipitation totals were highest in June and lowest in March. February and March had the greatest number of precipitation events (Table 4, Figure 4). Annual precipitation accumulated at a low, but fairly steady rate through June (Figure 4). After June rainfall levels increased and total accumulation increased sharply to the end of the calendar year. Table 4.

Spring onset was at least 19 days earlier than the other years and growing degree days were highest and freezing degree days lowest compared to all other years (Table below). Interestingly, the growing season is shortest in 2012. That is because after extended warm periods in the spring a freezing temperature was recorded on April 28th. The year 2015 had the coldest winter with the lowest monthly temperatures in January and February and the highest number of freezing degree days. Interestingly many other seasonal indicators such as spring onset, growing degree days, and spring and autumn freeze dates in 2015 were not differenct from 2013 or 2014. Month January February March April May June July August September October November December Spring Freeze Date Spring Onset Date Growing Degree Days Growing Season Autumn Freeze Date Freezing Degree Days 2012 -2.0 0.6 6.7 9.5 16.3 18.6 23.0 21.9 16.3 11.7 3.5 0.7 Apr 28 Mar 11 1595 167 Oct 12 169 2013 -2.9 -2.5 1.4 7.7 14.8 19.1 23.7 20.4 16.1 11.5 3.2 -1.7 Apr 26 Mar 30 1484 183 Oct 26 357 2014 -5.7 -4.1 -1.6 7.9 14.7 19.6 21.3 19.9 16.9 11.6 3.3 0.4 Apr 19 Apr 2 1392 183 0ct 19 481 2015 -6.4 -9.3 -0.9 8 17.4 17.7 21.6 21.5 19.3 9.8 7.3 4.9 Apr 25 Apr 3 1555 175 Oct 17 539 The figure on the next page shows the temperature variability through time. Temperatures are generally least variable in summer and fall and most variable in the winter. Warm temperature maximums rose as high as 35 °C and as low as -22 °C. Seasonal means were fairly constant in the summer and fall, but slightly more variable in the winter and spring. The length of the growing season ranged from 167 to 183 days. However, as discussed above, a single freezing event can greatly alter the length of the growing season. 2015 MacLeish Field Station Weather Report 13 14 2015 MacLeish Field Station Weather Report Daily temperature readings 2012 to 2016.

Young Co., Model 41382, relative humidity and temperature probe. The probe is housed in a radiation shield and ambient air is continuously blown past the sensor to reduce temperature fluctuation from solar radiation. The calibrated measuring range of the temperature probe is -50 to +50˚C, with an accuracy of ±0.3˚C. The relative humidity probe has an accuracy of ±2%. A pyranometer (Kipp & Zonen, model CM 3) measures solar radiation received in the horizontal (180 degrees) field of view. Typical accuracy is ±5%. Barometric pressure is measured with an R.M. Young barometric pressure sensor, model 61202V. The operating temperature is –50 to +60 ˚C, with an accuracy of ±0.3 hPa at 20 ˚C. 2015 Annual Weather Report Appendix C C-1 Wind velocity and direction are measured with a propeller—weather vane instrument (R.M. Young, model 05103). Wind speed is measured with a four blade helicoid propeller that produces an AC sine wave voltage signal with frequency directly proportional to wind speed. Vane angle is sensed by a potentiometer, making output voltage proportional to wind direction. The anemometer has a wind speed range of 0–100 m/s, with accuracy of ±1% or 0.3 m/s. The propeller threshold is 1.0 m/s (2.2 mph). The wind direction accuracy is ±3 degrees with a vane threshold of 1.1 m/s (2.4 mph). Precipitation is measured using a Campbell Scientific 8” heated siphoning tipping-bucket rain gauge located on the ground. The bucket tips when 0.01 inches (0.254 mm) of precipitation accumulates. The rain gauge has a precision of +/– 2% for rainfall intensities up to 19.7 in/hour (500 mm/hr). Note that if there is a large amount of snowfall it will take 1-3 days for all of the snow to melt and be recorded by the gauge. This is especially true if large snowfalls occur during or are followed by very cold temperatures. The result is that large snowfall events look like extended precipitation events. Also note that the rain gauge is located within 2 m of a one story building. The building may obstruct accurate measurements of certain rain events. 2015 Annual Weather Report Appendix C C-2 At OrchardMet Relative humidity and temperature are measured with a R.M. Young Co., Model 41382, relative humidity and temperature probe. The probe is housed in a naturally aspirated 10 plate radiation shield (R.M. Young) and positioned 2 m above the ground. The calibrated measuring range of the temperature probe is -50 to +50˚C, with an accuracy of ±0.3˚C. The relative humidity probe has an accuracy of ±2%. Precipitation is measured using a Tex- as Electronics (Model #TE525) 8” tipping-bucket rain gauge mounted on a pole ~60 cm above the ground. The sensor is surrounded by a wind screen consisting of 32 steel leaves that swing freely in the wind to help minimize the effect of wind on rain measurements. The bucket tips when 0.01 inches (0.254 mm) of precipitation accumulates. The rain gauge has a precision of ±2% in events up to 1in/hr.; ±3% in events from 1 to 2 in/hr.; and ±5% in events from 2 to 3 in/ hr. During the winter, a snowfall conversion adapter is installed. This adapter uses antifreeze and the sun’s warmth to melt snow, allowing the sensor to measure the water content of the snow. Note that if there is a large amount of snowfall it will take 1-3 days for all of the snow to melt and be recorded by the gauge. This is especially true if large snowfalls occur during or are followed by very cold temperatures. The result is that large snowfall events look like extended precipitation events. Wind velocity and direction are measured with a propeller—weather vane instrument (R.M. Young, model 05103). The same instrument is used on WhatleyMet. Barometric pressure is measured with a Vaisala barometric pressure sensor (Campbell Sci- entific, model CS106). The sensor is located in the data logger enclosure box, ~1 m above the ground. The accuracy is ±1.0 mb at -20° to +45°C. A solar radiation sensor (LI COR model LI200X) measures sun plus sky radiation. It is calibrated for the daylight spectrum (400 to 1100 nm). The sensor is mounted ~2 m above the ground. Typical accuracy is ±3%. Soil temperature is measured at 10 and 30 cm below the ground surface with Campbell Scientific temperature probes (model 108-L). The sensor has a temperature range of -5° to +95°C, with an accuracy of ±0.2°C. 2015 Annual Weather Report Appendix C C-3 Soil moisture is measured with a Campbell Scientific CS650-L15-DS water content reflectometer. The probe consists of two, stainless steel rods and measures propogation time, signal attenuation, and temperature. From these values dielectric permittivity, volumetric water content, and bulk electrical conductivity are derived. The probe senses a soil volume of 7800 cm3 (~7.5 cm radius around each probe rod and 4.5 cm beyond the end of the rods). The unit operates between -10° to +70° C. Two soil temperature probes (Campell Scientific 108-L15) were also installed. These probes have a range from -5° to +95° C and has a ±0.2° C tolerance. 2015 Annual Weather Report Appendix C C-1
