Field-Based Raw Meteorological Station Data for the Los Planes basin in Baja California Sur, Mexico from July 2023 through March 2026

Ground-based field monitoring meteorological stations are used to collect real-time weather and environmental data. Data parameters range from weather variables (i.e., precipitation, wind speed and direction, air temperature, relative humidity, dew point), to environmental variables (i.e., solar radiation, air density, soil conductivity), to station status data (i.e., battery voltage, time stamp). This dataset describes a series of meteorological stations that were installed in August of 2023 at a working research ranch in the Los Planes watershed of Baja California Sur, Mexico. Three meteorological stations were installed, including: (1) Agua Ademadas (USGS station ID 235959110063401) (elevation 646 m), (2) Peregrino Tinacos (hereafter, Peregrino, USGS station ID 240032110055201) (elevation 645 m), and (3) Cerro de la Vibora (hereafter, Vibora, USGS station ID 240030110062701) (elevation 697 m). This data release provides ‘raw ‘meteorological data for all three stations in a tabular format, a map figure showing the locations of the three stations relative to other monitoring locations, and photographs of the three stations. Raw data refers to unprocessed, uncorrected sensor measurements that are provisional and subject to change without calibration and maintenance‑visit information.
