Description
The goal of this project is to ensure continued operation and maintenance of the HaleNet climate observation network, including field operations, equipment maintenance and replacement, sensor recalibration, data communication improvements, data screening and archival, data analysis, and dissemination of results. HaleNet consists of two transects of climate stations along the leeward and windward slopes of Haleakala volcano, Maui Island, Hawaii. All but two stations in the network are within Haleakala National Park.
