Abstract

Air temperature, ground temperature and relative humidity data was collected in a longitudinal transect of the Nooksack watershed at varying elevations from 500 - 1800 m above sea level. Data was collected by anchoring sensors from trees above winter snow levels and shaded from direct solar radiation. Paired sensors were also buried 3 cm under ground near each air temperature sensor to determine snow absence or presence. Selected sites included relative humidity sensors to indicate whether precipitation was occuring. Data was collected every 3-4 hours from May 2015 to Sept 2018 (with ongoing collection). Code for processing daily mean, minimum, maximum, and rates of temperature changes with elevation is available on Github (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3239539). The sensor download and intermediate data products are available on HydroShare with publicly accessible visualization available from the Nooksack Observatory at data.cuahsi.org.

Code for processing sub-daily temperature sensor data for analysis of elevation distributed micro-climatology processes in a coastal glaciated watershed. Code allows for visualization and publication of daily data in multiple formats (1) daily data in python dictionaries for analysis (2) daily data for visualization and download on HydroServer at data.cuahsi.org (ODM format), and (3) archive publication on the HydroShare repository (ODM2 format)).

Air temperature and relative humidity were collected on a longitudinal transect in the North Fork Nooksack River Watershed in Whatcom County, Washington using methods described in (Hubbart et al., 2005; Lundquist & Cayan, 2007; Lundquist & Lott, 2008). This code is useful for assessment of observations, especially lapse rates with increasing elevation and microclimatic influences. Every hydrologic model that we know of (circa 2019) uses a linear annual lapse rate (e.g. -6.5 C/km clear sky assumption; - 4.5 C/km North Cascades Mountain Range (Minder et al., 2010) to represent the change in temperature with elevation. We are collecting empirical evidence to test the hypothesis that high elevation temperature lapse rates in glaciated mountain peaks, especially in maritime climates, are linear. They may be curvy.

Preliminary data analysis from the North Fork Nooksack (northern flank of Mt. Baker) shows a consistent annual average (-4.4 C/km) to previous work (Minder et al., 2010). However, at the lowest elevations (~664m -1056m) the annual average lapse rate is ~ 2.3 C/km; at mid elevations (1056m- 1575m) the annual average lapse rate is ~ 5.4 C/km; at higher elevations (1575m-1743m) the annual average lapse rate is ~ -7.2 C/km. If mountain lapse rates are significantly different from modeled rates, this is expected to have significant implications for high elevation snow, glacier, and hydrologic model predictions.

Curvy is something to be proud of. -Paloma Faith
