Summary

Supplementary data for studies conducted in the Luquillo Experimental Forest (LEF), eastern Puerto Rico include measurements of temperature, relative humidity and cloud immersion at 30-minute resolution. Temperature and relative humidity were measured at five sites; two primary sites have records from March 2014 to June 2019; other sites have shorter records within that period. From these data, derived values of dew point, vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and evaporative fraction were calculated. Daily 13:00 temperature and VPD gradients with elevation along the windward forested slope were calculated using the 2 primary sites from from March 2014 to November 2014, then on days with data from at least 3 of the 5 sites (617, 675, 794, [...]

Purpose

The data were collected to understand the hydroclimatology of the orographic cloud system and its interactions with the forest under undisturbed, drought, and defoliated conditions. The data may be used in studies of hydrology, forestry, climate and to expand existing similar data sets.
