Cold Air Drainage and Pooling in the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest

Animations of hourly temperature measured along the lower (LCT) and upper (UCT) cold-air transects

Hey, read this first! Animations with controls (forward, reverse, pause, faster, slower) are most easily viewed when Adobe Acrobat is set to be your browser's default pdf viewer. If you use Chrome, you will have to download the files first. Sorry, it is Google's doing, not mine.

Hey, read this, too! Some sensors have long data gaps (even more than a year), especially prior to 2008. Don't be discouraged if at first you don't see any temperature data. 2012 is good year to start with because it has little missing data.
