(508) 289 7485 pie_im@mbl.edu Information Manager The Plum Island Ecosystems (PIE) LTER is an integrated research, education and outreach program whose goal is to develop a predictive understanding of the long-term response of watershed and estuarine ecosystems at the land-sea interface to changes in climate, land use and sea level. The principal study site is the Plum Island Sound estuary, its coupled Parker, Rowley and Ipswich River watersheds and the adjacent coastal ocean, the Gulf of Maine. The PIE LTER focuses on how several aspects of global change influence organic matter and inorganic nutrient biogeochemistry and estuarine foodwebs. The inputs of organic matter and nutrients from land, ocean and marshes interact with the external drivers (climate, land use, river discharge, sea level) to dictate the extent and degree of nutrient and organic matter processing and determine the spatial patterns of estuarine productivity and trophic structure. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grants OCE-9726921, OCE-0423565. Any opinions, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in the material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. The Plum Island Ecosystems (PIE) LTER site, is located in northeastern Massachusetts, 42.72 N, 70.85 W. The PIE LTER lies at the interface of a thinly soiled, formerly glaciated New England land mass and the highly productive Gulf of Maine. Three watersheds comprise the estuarine drainage basin: Parker (155 km2), Rowley (26 km2) and Ipswich (404 km2). The Ipswich River watershed is highly urbanized with Boston "bedroom" communities encroaching in the headwater region while the Parker is less urbanized and retains a higher proportion of forest. -71.2198 -70.7568 42.8276 42.4965 0 100 meter MON-PR-Met15min2009.csv Year 2009, meteorological data, 15 minute intervals, from the MBL Marshview Farm weather station located in Newbury, MA MON-PR-Met15min2009.csv 1 \r\n column , http://ecosystems.mbl.edu/PIE/data/MON/data/MON-PR-Met15min2009.csv Date Date date and time (DD-MON-YYYY) DD-MON-YYYY Time Time time of day (hh:mm), (eastern standard time EST), 24 hour format hh:mm Julian Julian julian day number integer NA NA = not available Precip Precip total precipitation, wet only, rain and snow (mm) millimeter real NA NA = not available Pyranometer Pyranometer solar radiation (kW m-2), 15 minute average kilowattPerMeterSquared real NA NA = not available PAR PAR photosynthetically active radiation (µM m-2 sec-1), 15 minute average micromolePerMeterSquaredPerSecond real NA NA = not available Temp Temp air temperature (Celsius), 15 minute average celsius real NA NA = not available RH RH relative humidity (percent), 15 minute average percent real NA NA = not available Wind Wind wind speed (m sec-1), 15 minute average meterPerSecond real NA NA = not available WindDir WindDir wind direction (degrees), 15 minute average degree real NA NA = not available BAR BAR barometer (mbar), 15 minute average millibar real NA NA = not available 35040 Amount of energy per square meter surface micro Einsteins (1E-06 moles of photons) per square meter per second (radiant flux density) ratio of two quantities as percent composition (1:100) meters per second
