Tenderfoot Creek Experimental Forest annual precipitation data: 1993-2010

This data publication contains annual precipitation at ten locations on the Tenderfoot Experimental Forest. The ten locations are Bubbling Creek, County line, Dry Park, Farnes Meadow, Lonesome Creek, Lower Sun Creek, Upper Stringer Creek, Passionate Creek, Lower Stringer Creek and Onion Park. Precipitation values were collected in storage gauges kept on site year long. Storage gauges were checked on or near September 30 coinciding with the end of the water year (historic period of low flow in the Tenderfoot Creek watershed).
The Tenderfoot Creek Experimental Forest was established in 1961 as a hydrological experimental forest in a representative lodgepole pine forest common east of the Continental Divide. Hydrologic and climatologic monitoring sites were established in the early 1990's to monitor environmental effects of various silviculture methods used to restore and regenerate healthy lodgepole pine forests (see McCaughey et. al. in cross-reference section).
