At the beginning of the week heavy rainfalls in combination with strong winds occurred in Västerbotten County. Technicians from Röbäcksdalen Field Research Station took the opportunity of 47mm rain recorded by their weather station for the 2nd of November to take field measurements in the streams.
Data from these extreme events are very valuable for the long-term monitoring as high impact processes regarding chemical variables may occur and a validation of, e.g. the stream discharge function can be implemented. Usually these events are difficult to cover as they are short term and happen unexpectedly.
