Summary

These data describe daily mean air temperature, soil temperature, soil-water (moisture) content, and solar radiation at two edge-of-field sites monitored as part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. These data were used to catalog the general range of conditions at each site in order to provide context for when sub-surface agricultural drainage (tile drains) is visible in remote-sensing imagery available from DigitalGlobe and Google Earth.

Purpose

Meteorological data were collected in order to improve monitoring and sampling of surface and tile-drain discharge. These data help describe site conditions, but sensors were not checked after installation, so data are considered provisional. This release documents those data used for development of a machine-learning method to delineate the surface-representation of sub-surface agricultural drainage (Redoloza and others, in revision). Satellite images used are included in Williamson and Hoefling (2023).
