Precipitation data within the 2020 Archie Creek, Holiday Farm, Beachie Creek, Lionshead, and Riverside Fires, in the Western Cascade Range of Oregon from 2020-2023

Metadata Updated: July 20, 2024

This data release contains rainfall data from the 2020 Archie Creek, Holiday Farm, and Riverside Fire’s. These are gages identified in the parent OR_field_observations.csv release and used to calculate peak rainfall intensity-durations. The csv files here are organized by the station name and followed by the year of data collection. The locations of the stations, dates of deployment, interval, and unit of rainfall measurement are available in gage_locations.csv in the parent data release. All rainfall data are reported as a cumulative total. The Archie1, Archie2, Archie3, Holiday1, Holiday2, Holiday3, Holiday4, and Oregon Rain 4 rain gages are non-telemetered. These gages were deployed following the fires within the first few months of the 2020 water year. These rainfall data files are the raw output of the HOBO data logger file that have been converted to a csv using HOBO software version 3.7.25. These are tipping bucket gages where each bucket tip represents 0.2 mm of rainfall. The column headers for the non-telemetered gages are:

: Number of data logs recorded.

Date Time, GMT-07:00: Time stamp of when data event was recorded [m/d/yyyy H:M:S]. Event, units (Sensor IDs): Bucket tip. OregonRain4 additionally includes a temperature recording column Temp, °C (LGR S/N: 10741450, SEN S/N: 10741450, LBL: temp), which describes the temperature recorded for the timestamp in degrees C. The D7564, E6414, F0379, F9895, HGNO3, LNEO3, RWXO3, TCFO3, and WPKO3 gages are telemetered, and rainfall data were downloaded from MESOWEST (https://mesowest.utah.edu/). MESOWEST only allows for rainfall data to be downloaded at a maximum of 365 days at a time, and rainfall data associated with these telemetered gages span multiple years. The multiple years of data for each gage were combined and adjusted so that our cumulative rainfall data starts at a value of 0 at the start of our downloaded data. These data are reported in inches. The column headers for these telemetered gages are: date: Time stamp of when data event was recorded [m/d/yyyy H:M]. precip: Cumulative total of rainfall in inches.
