DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION |
Data Set Overview : The weather station (WTHS) data consist of wind velocity, direction, and air temperature collected at Lunar Lake during the July and September field campaigns. Data were digitized at 30 minute intervals from stripchart recordings. The weather station was a portable station designed and built by Meteorological Research, Inc. Cup anemometer and thermistor thermometer measurements of wind speed and direction, dry-bulb air temperature, and rainfall were monitored continuously on a strip chart recorder. The instrument was mounted on a tripod approximately two meters above the surface.
