Daily air temperature data, recorded by NWS thermometer, from climate station 01 at Coweeta Hydrologic Lab, North Carolina

This dataset contains 1935-2021 daily air temperature recorded by the National Weather Service maximum/minimum thermometers at the main climate station (CS01) at Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory in Macon County, North Carolina, USA. The station is operated by the Southern Research Station, USDA Forest Service, but is also a cooperative station with the National Weather Service.
The Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory was established in 1934 and is world-renowned for its research in forest hydrology. Coweeta was established to determine the fundamental effects of forest management on soil and water resources and to serve as a testing ground for theories in forest hydrology. To facilitate this, a network of climate and precipitation stations was established across the site. The research program has since expanded its focus to encompass watershed ecosystem science. The original climate and precipitation network continues to facilitate these studies and serves as the foundation of the long-term data record.
