This trip was the annual data logger collection trip. The goal was to download data from every data logger. The data from the logger is linked at the end of this post. read more

I was roaming through some old files today and discovered the full-year data from 2011 for the stream flow project.  This data was not posted to the web site.  In the interest of completeness I am adding it.

The ZIP file linked below contains three kinds of files.  The .hobo files are the raw data exactly as it comes off the loggers.  In order to use these files you must have a copy of Hoboware Pro software. 

The TXT files are plain text in a format that can be imported to a spreadsheet.  The PDF files contain graphs of the data.

I have added a link to a scientific paper by Ben Miller.  The paper discusses the hydrology of Carroll Cave.  As part of the project,  extensive dye tracing was performed.  The result is a comprehensive view of where the water in the cave comes from and where it goes.

You can go to the paper from the “Links” section on the right side of the web page or by going to this URL:

The marked trail around the Giant formation in Carroll Passage has pretty much
disintegrated. It needs to be rebuilt.
