This site is designed for people studying processes related to temperature in complex terrain. Extensive site-specific studies have been carried out across the globe. Here we strive to collect that information in one place and provide a set of tools that can easily be downloaded and used by anyone.

Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

In conjunction with the USGS WEBB program, we deployed sensors throughout Loch Vale Watershed in summer 2005 to summer 2006.  This work was supported by a University of Colorado, Boulder, CIRES Innovative Research Grant.


Pyrenees, France

These field measurements were taken by Dr. Nick Pepin at the University of Portsmouth and by Dr. David Kidd from May 2002 to May 2005.  A detailed study description can be found in:  Pepin, N. and D. Kidd (2006), Spatial temperature variation in the Eastern Pyrenees. Weather, 61, 1-11. 


Yosemite National Park, California

Distributed measurements have been in place since summer 2001.


North Cascades National Park, Washington

Sensors were deployed September 2007 to August 2008.


Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington

Sensors were deployed in summer 2006 in conjunction with Phil Mote and are continued today with collaboration from Jeremy Littel and Janneke Hille Ris Lambers.


Laplands, Finland

This field project is currently underway, led by Dr. Nick Pepin. Dr. Jessica Lundquist will join the field effort in January of 2009
