    <description descriptionType="Abstract">
      Snow depth, soil moisture and soil temperature are measured at lower
      Providence South facing (LowMetS) and North facing (LowMetN), Upper
      Providence South facing (UpMetS), North facing (UpMetN) and Flat aspect
      (UpMetF), and Subcatchment basin P301 (P301) with a wireless sensor
      network, using a Campbell Scientific logger to control peripheral devices.
      Snow depth is measured in the open, at the drip edge and under canopies.
      Soil moisture and temperature are measured at 10, 30, 60 and 90 cm depths
      coincident with the snow depth nodes. 10 watt solar panels provides power
      for monitoring at 10 minute intervals. Raw data have been processed to
      level 1 (QA/QC) and level 2 (gap-filled, derived) data. Time period: water
      year 2008 through water year 2012 (version 1), 2013 to 2016 (version 2).

    <description descriptionType="Methods">
      Soil volumetric water content (VWC) and soil temperature measured using
      Decagon Devices ECHO-TM at depths of 10, 30, 60, an 90 cm below the
      mineral soil surface. Sensor now equivalent to 5TM
      (http://www.decagon.com/soil-moisture-sensors/). Distance to snow/soil
      surface and air temperature measured with Judd Communications ultrasonic
      depth sensor, using analog control ( http://www.juddcom.com/ ). Data
      control and storage on Campbell Scientific CR1000 datalogger, using
      AM16/32B multiplexer ( http://www.campbellsci.com ). Program for data
      acquisition are located on UC Merced-SNRI digital library (
      https://eng.ucmerced.edu/snsjho/files/MHWG/Field/Southern...)
