Dataset title: Rainfall Stable Isotopes collected at Florida International University-MMC (FCE LTER), Miami, Florida, USA, October 2007 - ongoing Dataset ID: LT_HY_Price_001 Research type: Long-Term Dataset Creator Name: Dr Rene Price Position: Principal Investigator Organization: Florida Coastal Everglades LTER Address: Florida International University 11200 SW 8th Street OE 148 Miami, FL 33199 USA Phone: 305-348-3119 Fax: 305-348-3877 Email: pricer@fiu.edu URL: https://myweb.fiu.edu/pricer/ Metadata Provider Organization: Florida Coastal Everglades LTER Address: Florida International University 11200 SW 8th Street OE 148 Miami, FL 33199 USA Phone: 305-348-6054 Email: fcelter@fiu.edu URL: https://fcelter.fiu.edu Dataset Abstract A precipitation collector was placed on top of the roof of the HLS-1 buidling at the main campus of FIU. The collector only opens when the sensor is activated by water and closes when it is not raining to prevent evaporation. Water samples were collected and analyzed for stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen. Dataset Purpose To provide stable isotopic data for precipitation in south FL Geographic Coverage Study Extent Description The Study Extent of this dataset includes the Florida International University South Campus near Everglades National Park, South Florida Bounding Coordinates Geographic description: FIU-MMC West bounding coordinate: -80.371 East bounding coordinate: -80.371 North bounding coordinate: 25.757 South bounding coordinate: 25.757 Geographic description: Florida Coastal Everglades LTER Study Area: South Florida, Everglades National Park, and Florida Bay West bounding coordinate: -81.078 East bounding coordinate: -80.490 North bounding coordinate: 25.761 South bounding coordinate: 24.913 All Sites Geographic Description:FIU-MMC Longitude:-80.371 Latitude:25.757 Temporal Coverage Start Date: 2007-10-22 End Date: 2023-06-30 Data Table Entity Name: LT_HY_Price_001.csv Entity Description: Rainfall Stable Isotopes collected at FIU-MMC (FCE), Miami Florida Object Name: LT_HY_Price_001.csv Data Format Number of Header Lines: 1 Attribute Orientation: column Field Delimiter: , Number of Records: Attributes Attribute Name: SITENAME Attribute Label: sitename Attribute Definition: Name of LTER site Storage Type: text Measurement Scale: Name of LTER site Missing Value Code: Attribute Name: Date Attribute Label: date Attribute Definition: Collection date Storage Type: datetime Measurement Scale: Missing Value Code: Attribute Name: Total_Precipitation Attribute Label: Volume Attribute Definition: Volume of total precipitation in bucket Storage Type: data Measurement Scale: Units: milliliter Precision: 1 Number Type: integer Missing Value Code: -9999 (Value will never be recorded ) Attribute Name: Delta_2H Attribute Label: isotope Attribute Definition: ratio of the heavy to light isotopes of Hydrogen (sample/standard) Storage Type: data Measurement Scale: Units: perMil Precision: 0.5 Number Type: real Missing Value Code: -9999.00 (Value will never be recorded ) Attribute Name: Delta_18O Attribute Label: isotope Attribute Definition: ratio of the heavy to light isotopes of Oxygen (sample/standard) Storage Type: data Measurement Scale: Units: perMil Precision: 0.2 Number Type: real Missing Value Code: -9999.00 (Value will never be recorded ) Methods Sampling Description Water samples collected from sealed rain collector every 2-6 weeks Method Step Description Water samples collected from sealed rain collector every 2-6 weeks Submission notes: There is a large break in the data between July 31, 2020 and December. 21, 2022 due to COVID. The rain collector was replaced on December 15, 2022. Citation Price, Rene M , Peter K Swart, Hugh E Willoughby. 2008.
