Automated Environmental Data Collection at Fort Benning, Georgia, from May 1999 to July 2001

Abstract

The Department of Defense, Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program, Ecosystem Management Project, Ecosystem Characterization and Monitoring initiative Program at Fort Benning, Georgia, is a long-term research program to characterize and monitor the environmental conditions and changes at Fort Benning and in the surrounding ecosystem. In an effort to fully complete the initiative, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Environmental Laboratory (EL), is collecting meteorological, stream, and groundwater data at selected sites at Fort Benning, Georgia. These include ten automated meteorological weather stations, six automated surface water stations, and four automated groundwater stations. This report describes the sensors deployed and the data collected in the first 27 months (May 1999 - July 2001).
