Soil, snow, weather, and sub-surface storage data from a mountain catchment in the rain-snow transition zone

A comprehensive hydroclimatic data set is presented for the 2011 water year to improve understanding of hydrologic processes in the rain-snow transition zone. This type of dataset is extremely rare in scientific literature because of the quality and quantity of soil depth, soil texture, soil moisture, and soil temperature data. Standard meteorological and snow cover data for the entire 2011 water year are included, which include several rain-on-snow events. Surface soil textures and soil depths from 57 points are presented as well as soil texture profiles from 14 points. Meteorological data include continuous hourly shielded, unshielded, and wind corrected precipitation, wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity, dew point temperature, and incoming solar and thermal radiation data. Sub-surface data included are hourly soil moisture data from multiple depths from 7 soil profiles within the catchment, and soil temperatures from multiple depths from 2 soil profiles. Hydrologic response data include hourly stream discharge from the catchment outlet weir, continuous snow depths from one location, intermittent snow depths from 5 locations, and snow depth and density data from ten weekly snow surveys. Though it represents only a single water year, the presentation of both above and below ground hydrologic condition makes it one of the most detailed and complete hydro-climatic datasets from the climatically sensitive rain-snow transition zone for a wide range of modeling and descriptive studies.

Cansinos y 'El arrabal de la literatura' : Un texto germinal del barrio borgeano

La singular preocupación de Jorge Luis Borges por la identidad argentina en las primeras décadas del 1900 puede ser retomada desde dos puntos de partida. Uno, esencialmente lingüístico, relacionado con la problemática idiomática de su país natal: el idioma de los argentinos. El otro, de índole socio-cultural, vinculado al espacio y a la vida de los personajes que, en algunas décadas anteriores, habitaron el Buenos Aires periférico: el arrabal y sus compadres. Y es en ambos puntos que el presente trabajo debate sobre la influencia de Rafael Cansinos Assens, su admirado y estimado maestro, en los textos juveniles del argentino. Influencia que es perceptible tanto en los estudios borgeanos sobre las posibilidades y trampas del lenguaje, posiblemente alentados en las discusiones de las tertulias del sevillano (y en el ultraísmo fugaz de ambos escritores), como, especialmente, en las consideraciones de Cansinos Assens sobre el suburbio en su particular texto 'El arrabal de la literatura'
