Methods

The methods followed in the creation of the dataset, including description of field, laboratory and processing steps, and quality control procedures

Current Methods

  • Measuring Throughfall

    After the experiment, tared buckets were weighed in the field to obtain throughfall volume. Additionally, the buckets were transported to the laboratory and field values were confirmed by melting the ice in the buckets and recording the volume.
