Subsurface temperature profiles, imagery, and meteorological data at a Sunset Crater cinder field: March 2021 to May 2022

May 23, 2023

We have set up a meteorological station at a small cinder field in Sunset Crater National Monument, Arizona, that records temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, solar radiation, and precipitation. Each hour, a BlazeVideo camera records a small portion of the cinder field adjacent to the meteorological station. Subsurface temperatures are recorded at cinder depths of 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 cm. Data presented here span from March 09, 2021 to May 26, 2022.
