Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey Pacific Islands Water Science Center and the University of Hawaii at Manoa Department of Geography, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Interior Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Science Center initiated a field data-collection program as part of a study to quantify the impacts of drought on water resources and the importance of cloud-water interception in mitigating the impacts of drought (see Related External Resources link below). The goal of the data-collection program is to provide information for evaluating the role that cloud-water interception in Hawaii’s rain forests has in providing moisture for plants, reducing wildfire risk within the fog zone, and contributing to groundwater recharge [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this data release is to document the quality-assured results of measurements collected from 55 individual measurement locations and depths from four plots at three study sites on the islands of Maui and Hawaii from July 2016 to January 2018. The data were collected as part of a study to quantify impacts of drought on water resources and the importance of cloud-water interception in mitigating the impacts of drought.
