2 Survey Details
2.1 Dates of erosion monitoring survey: 1977-94
2.1 Water/wind erosion? Water
2.3 Area monitored: Fort Reno, Central Oklahoma, 1,6 ha winter wheat
2.4 Character of area: Formerly native grasslands; sub-humid climate
2.5 Frequency of monitoring: Continuous precipitation, runoff, soil and nutrient loss
2.6 What fraction of fields in the monitored area were included in the survey? All of catchment
2.7 How were estimates of erosion made? Sediment concentration from pumping sampler
2.8 Were air photographs used? No
2.9 For each erosion site, information recorded: Incremental precipitation, runoff, sediment concentration, nitrogen and phosphorus concentration, tillage dates, methods, chemical application rates and dates, soil samples
 

 

2.10 Data obtained from elsewhere: Long term climate records (precip and temp) from NWS station for weather generator
2.11 Data calculated from above information: Runoff volume and sediment and chemical yields
2.12 Meterological station density and type: Weighing recording rain gauge on the catchment
2.13 Length of record of meterological data: 1977-94
