These simulations were performed by driving a nested gr
Talus Surface & Subsurface Temperature Data from Oregon & Colorado, USA, 2011-2019
Between 2011 and 2019, temperature data loggers were buried in rocky talus patches (hereafter “sites”) potentially occupied by American pikas (Ochotona princeps). Data collection spanned three ecoregions: Grand Mesa, Colorado (GRME), Mt. Hood, Oregon (MTHO), and the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon (CRG
Early snowmelt and warming experiments to study plant phenology
Phenology - the timing of life events - determines how a species’ life cycle aligns with the abiotic and biotic environment, however, climate change has altered the environmental cues organisms use to track climate leading to shifts in phenology. In high latitude environments, phenological shifts in

Navigation, surface current, sea surface temperature, wind, and atmospheric pressure data collected by the Mar Mostro during the around-the-world Volvo Ocean Race (VOR) 2011-2012 (http://www.volvooceanrace.com/en/home.html). The Mar Mostro is a 21.5m sail-powered racing yacht that was manned by the
Oceanographic temperature profiles from the HMS CHALLENGER in the Antarctic, North Atlantic and other locations from 1873-02-15 to 1876-05-06 (NCEI Accession 0126754)
From 1872 to 1876, the HMS Challenger sailed around the world studying ocean features such as ocean temperature and chemistry, wildlife, and sounding the ocean, discovering undersea features like seamounts and ocean trenches. This expedition marked the beginning of the modern study of oceanography.
Partial pressure of carbon dioxide, sea surface salinity, temperature and barometric pressure collected from surface underway observations during the racing sailing vessel Seaexplorer (Malizia II) cruises in the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean from 2020-07-03 to 2021-01-05 (NCEI Accession 0235681)
This dataset includes surface underway data collected during the racing sailing vessel Seaexplorer (Malizia II) cruises in the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean from 2020-07-03 to 2021-01-05. These data include partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the water, sea surface salinity, sea s
Biological, chemical, and physical data from the Phytoplankton Monitoring Network from 2001-09-13 to 2013-03-07 (NCEI Accession 0117942)
The Phytoplankton Monitoring Network (PMN) is a part of the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS). The PMN was created as an outreach program to connect volunteers and professional scientists in the monitoring of marine phytoplankton and harmful algal blooms (HABs). NOAA staff train vol
Long-term changes in flowering synchrony reflect climatic changes across an elevational gradient
These are the data with the accompanying R code used in the article Long-term changes in flowering synchrony reflect climatic changes across an elevational gradient , by Fisogni A, de Manincor N, Bertelsen CD, and Rafferty NE. We provide the raw data on flowering phenology, temperature and precipita
Sensor-based phenology from snowmelt experiment gradient, East River, Colorado, 2017 to 2020
The timing of snowmelt is a critical cue for the initiation of growth in mountain meadow ecosystems and can also impact the duration and magnitude of plant production. High frequency observations of species-level phenology are time consuming and require a high degree of expertise, and publicly avail
Surface soil temperature and water content from warming experiment located at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, Colorado, 2015 to 2019
This data package consists of soil temperature and soil water content sensor data from the warming experiment near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory. Data range is from summer 2015 to summer 2019, when the warming manipulation was terminated. The location of the warming experiment is in the u
Microclimate observations associated with snowmelt experiment gradient sites, East River, Colorado, 2017 to 2020
The timing of snowmelt in mountain systems is a main driver of vegetation phenology and production, as well as recharge of soil moisture and ground water. Decreases in maximum snowpack and warmer spring temperatures have led to a higher frequency of early snowmelt. This study combines a natural elev
Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) of Meteorological Time Series Data for Billy Barr, East River, Colorado USA
A comprehensive Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) statistical framework consists of three major phases: Phase 1—Preliminary raw data sets exploration, including time formatting and combining datasets of different lengths and different time intervals; Phase 2—QA of the datasets, includi
East River Watershed Stable Water Isotope Data in Precipitation, Snowpack and Snowmelt 2016-2020
Stable water isotopes (d18O, d2H and d-excess) are important tracers in hydrologic research to understand water partitioning between vegetation, groundwater, and runoff but are rarely applied to large watersheds with persistent snowpack and complex topopgraphy. Data were collected for the Lawrence B
Sensor-based phenology from snowmelt experiment gradient, East River, Colorado, 2017 to 2020
The timing of snowmelt is a critical cue for the initiation of growth in mountain meadow ecosystems and can also impact the duration and magnitude of plant production.

Patterns of natural avalanche activity associated with new snow water equivalance and upper atmospheric wind direction and speed in the mountains surrounding Gothic, Colorado
Snowfall, temperature and wind are three factors that quickly change avalanche conditions. Ridge-top winds have been used to assess avalanche conditions with mixed success due to high variability. Few analyses have tested the effect upper atmospheric winds have on avalanche conditions. This study at
Plasticity and changes in selection in response to changing precipitation regimes
Altered precipitation patterns are a major prediction of climate change models and a recent reality. Changes in climatic variables may affect the evolution of species by affecting the magnitude and direction of natural selection on various traits. Winter precipitation can affect summer-flowering pla
Effects of experimental warming on plant traits of subalpine wildflower species of Gothic, CO
Over the next century the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other contributing greenhouse gases is predicted to generate an average increase in temperature 1-6˚C (Saavedra et al., 2003; Cleland et al., 2012). The proposed warming climate suggests a common myth of global warming th
Flowering date of taxonomic families predicts phenological sensitivity to temperature: Implications for forecasting the effects of climate change on unstudied taxa
• Premise of the study: Numerous long‐term studies in seasonal habitats have tracked interannual variation in first flowering date (FFD) in relation to climate, documenting the effect of warming on the FFD of many species. Despite these efforts, long‐term phenological observations are still lacking
