Description
Multi-year time series from data loggers in several cinder cones on the Mauna Kea summit plateau, Hawaii. The variable measured is primarily ground temperature, but several time series for air temperature, relative humidity, and light intensity have also been obtained.
Study sites and time period:
Puu Wekiu (Summit Cone Crater), 2012-2026
Puu Hau Kea (Goodrich Cone), 2012-2026
Puu Waiau, 2013-2016
Puu Pohaku (Douglas Cone), 2014-2016
Puu Makanaka, 2016
The raw data are downloads from HOBO data loggers. The reduced data are merged time series without time gaps and corrected for known issues. A list of data loggers with time periods and sensor depths is provided in loggers_summary_mk.csv. For file formats and further information see README.TXT. For context see references.
