Climate data program
As part of a reference monitoring program, above- and belowground climate data have been monitored since 1980 at the Svartberget station following World Metrological Organization (WMO) protocols. In total, approximately 100 meteorological variables are automatically monitored. Another twenty variables are manually observed, including phenological observations.
Precipitation as both rain and snow have been measured as part of the reference climate monitoring program at Svartberget field station since 1980. Rain and snow chemistry have been sampled since 1983, with each precipitation event collected and stored as individual samples, bulked monthly, and analyzed for chemistry. Snow accumulation and snow density measurements have been monitored approximately weekly since 1980 (Laudon and Löfvenius, 2016).
