Abstract

Wind speed, temperature, and PAR observations from Massachusetts from 2012-2015.

Atmospheric conditions were recorded by three meteorological towers at PIE-LTER. Wind speed (m s-1) and temperature (deg C, T15min)  were measured 14 m above the marsh (42.742 deg N, 70.830 deg W). Wind speed was scaled to 10m height (wnd10). Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR15min; umol m-2 s-1) was recorded by two towers that were deployed at different times between May-November (42.724 deg N, 70.856 deg W and 42.739 deg N, 70.827 deg W).Raw benthic chlorophyll and phaeophytin data from each experimental time point in June, August, and October 2013.
