- James Cave Epikarst Monitoring Temperature and Specific Conductance Data as of 120701Schreiber, Madeline E.; Eagle, Sarah; Schwartz, Benjamin; Orndorff, William D.; Gerst, Jonathan (2013-05-08)James Cave is located in Pulaski County, Virginia and formed within the Cambro-Ordovician Conococheague formation. Continuous (10 minute interval) monitoring of specific conductance and water temperature of cave drips and cave stream from January 2011 to winter 2013 using HOBO® conductivity loggers. At the subsurface sites, drips were consolidated using tarps with areas of 2.43m2, 3.07m2, and 3.51m2 for MS1, MS2, and MS3, respectively and funneled into a reservoir for measurement and logging of conductivity and temperature. These data are presented as the temperature compensated specific conductance. Additionally, this submission includes air temperature taken via HOBO® temperature sensors and loggers. The air temperature data are subject to considerable artifacts such as an increase in temperature during sampling events.
- James Cave Epikarst Monitoring Drip DataSchreiber, Madeline E.; Eagle, Sarah; Schwartz, Benjamin; Orndorff, William D.; Gerst, Jonathan (2013-05-07)James Cave is located in Pulaski County, Virginia and formed within the Cambro-Ordovician Conococheague formation. Continuous (10 minute interval) monitoring of cave drip rate and precipitation was conducted from late summer 2007 to winter 2013 using HOBO® tipping bucket rain gauges and multi-station data loggers. At the subsurface sites, drips were collected using tarps with areas of 2.43m2, 3.07m2, and 3.51m2 for MS1, MS2, and MS3, respectively. Precipitation was measured at the surface near the cave entrance.
