Rainfall

Rainfall is measured at the monitoring site using tipping-bucket rain gauges that measure 0.2 mm of rainfall per tip. One rain gage is installed on a bare open slope. A second rain gage is installed beneath the canopy of recovering vegetation. (all times in UTC)

Soil Water Content and Ground Water Pressure

The monitoring site has three soil pits with sensors to measure the volumetric water content of the soil. A tensiometer to measure soil pore-water pressure in the range of +85 kPa to -100 kPa is located at the base of one of the pits. The depth of the instruments in the pit is indicated on the graphs. (all times in UTC)
