DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION |
The Weather Station Archive contains calibrated reduced data
record (RDR) temperature and wind data acquired using a portable
weather station during the earth-based 1989 Geologic Remote
Sensing Field Experiment (GRSFE).

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.
