Temperature observations are read to 0.5 F. Precipitation is read to the nearest 0.01 inch. The Campbell data logger rounds to the nearest langley for solar measurements. Evaporation pan measurements are read to 0.1 mm. Meteorological data stations at long-term ecological research sites. 1983 October 23-28.
Meteorological observations are part of the needed baseline data.
An early accomplishment of this coordinated research program is a standard for LTER meteorological stations. National goals of the LTER program and the research objectives at each site are related in this report to specific needs for meteorological data that defined the concept and structure of the station standards. The recommended standard is flexible. It establishes a core level of participation yet allows for considerable variation in data requirements of different ecosystems.
