<p class="MsoNormal">To whom it may concern,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am a research technician working in Hannah ter Hofstede’s Bioacoustics lab at Dartmouth College. We were hoping to gain permission to use Hubbard Brook’s archived precipitation and temperature data to assist us in our analysis on the
four years (2015-2018) of bat activity data we have collected over Mirror Lake. We hope to submit for publication by the end of the summer.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Through the data portal on the Hubbard Brook website, I came across the rain gauge data,
<b>Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Daily Precipitation Standard Rain Gage Measurements, 1956 – present</b>.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">https://portal.lternet.edu/nis/metadataviewer?packageid=knb-lter-hbr.13.12</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If allowed permission to use the data, could you inform me on which gauge is closest to mirror lake? Form the looks, it would be the Head quarters gauge (RG22)? These are the measurements we would most likely use when referring to estimated
precipitation at Mirror Lake.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Secondly, could you direct me to where I may find average daily temperatures for 2015-2018, or better yet,
<b>nightly</b> temperatures?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for any help and feedback you can provide, it is much appreciated.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
