Dolly Sods Edition August 1, 2023

Temps:

– above is a comparison of the Bear Rocks Bog and Bear Rocks Parking lot temp comparison this morning
-A comparison of the Bear Rocks Bog and Alder Bog. Bear Rocks bog more impacted by light winds until the early a.m hours when the winds weakened further allowing the Bog to decouple. I did pull the Alder logger almost a hour before Bear Rocks bog hit the min there. Leaving the chance Alder dropped a touch more post data shown.
Alder Bog. 2 Meter Temp vs 6″ Temp.
– broader view of the high shallow bog microclimate.
