The CR10X datalogger polls the wind spped, wind direction, precipitation, temperature, and saturation vapor pressure sensors every 3 seconds. This small polling interval is used in order to maximize the chances of recording wind gusts. Data from the 3-second readings are used for calculating the daily maximum and minimum values, which are recorded at midnight each day. Data are downloaded from the CR10X dataloggers to a laptop computer. Data are then imported into MSAccess97 Database.
Attributes are the measurements which are made at the weather stations.
Precipitation is measured with a Texas Electronic TE525USW-L raingage and CS705 tipping bucket. At the Barcroft Station only, a Vaisala PTB200 barometer is used. Data from all sensors are recorded with a Campbell CR10X datalogger. This disclaimer applies both to individual use of the data and aggregate use with other data. It is strongly recommended that careful attention be paid to the contents of the metadata file associated with these data.
