Meteorological station locations were revised during the 2008-2009 season by Hassan Basagic using a Garmin Etrex handheld (accuracy 3m) GPS, recorded in WGS84. All elevations are approximate.

Maintenance: 

Metadata was enhanced in 2016 by I. San Gil, using the Drupal Ecological Information Management System (DEIMS).
