Cerro Crocker

Cerro Crocker is one of the highest points on Santa Cruz Island and a central highland site for observing Garua-season conditions.

Within the DARWIN project, Cerro Crocker serves as a highland reference site for fog-influenced hydroclimate.

Why the site matters

• Located in the core fog-influenced elevation band.
• Captures transitions between cloud immersion and drier boundary-layer conditions.
• Supports evaluation of model skill for highland moisture processes, including Occult precipitation.

Public documentation intentionally avoids exact station coordinates, precise deployment micro-locations, and detailed operational layouts.
