These folders contain .csv files of terrestrial meteorological data time series using a standard met station setup on a 2-m instrument stand. There are four sites on the Western Transect, as shown below. These stations were deployed in April 2012. Instrumentation is identical at each site, with measurements collected hourly on the hour. Time is reported using Alaska Daylight time. Site Name Code Latitude Longitude Barrow BRW_Met 71.22198 -156.783 Atqasuk ATQ_Met 70.46677 -156.939 Reindeer Camp RDC_Met 69.99841 -156.55 Lower Meade River LMR_Met 70.76425 -156.732 This met station is provided by Onset Computer Corporation. The data logger is the U-30 USB unit Weather Station http://www.onsetcomp.com/products/data-loggers/u30-nrc A standard suite of compatible Onset smart sensors were deployed including Pressure, Solar Radiation, Wind speed and direction, air temperature and relative humidity. Hourly measurements are recorded in columns with labeled headings.
