HiWi-Buehl

Data Processing for the Hydrological Monitoring Network in the Bühlert catchment operated by KIT.

A google map with the postions of the measuring devices can be found here.

The data is supposed to be incorporated in the V-FOR-Water platform.

The Python Scripts in this repository aim to merge the data collected from several types of loggers. Data collection usually takes place once a month and is conducted by a HiWi (research assistance). The types of loggers and the individual loggers are listed here:

Rain gauges using OnSet HoBO event logger

• log precipitation in 0.2 mm increments with a 5 min temporal resolution
• temperature as well
• non heated → snow is not measured → data from winter can be discarded
• prone to clogging

Soil Moisture using Campbell Scientific logger

• two stations with two depths each
• log electrical conductivity, volumetric soil moisture and temperature

OTT Hydromet Pressure Transducer measuring the water level at a spring with Thomson weir (triangular weir)

• logs water level, temperature and electrical conductivty
• weir is not completely teight &rightarrow some of the spring discharge is not captured

TruTrack WT-HR Water level and temperature logger

• record interflow after strong precipitation events, otherwise they are mostl dry
