What does this data set describe?
    Title: 2002 LUMCON Monitoring Station at LUMCON
    Abstract:
    The weather station located directly behind the LUMCON facility collects both metrological and hydrographical data. The instruments that are used to measure and collect the data are calibrated and maintained. Parameters such as the year, Julian date, time, stationed, signature, latitude, longitude, air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, quantum solar radiation, barometric pressure, wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, precipitation, water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, depth, turbidity, and the number of scans done in a minute are collected. These parameters are collected once every minute and saved in a .dat file.

How was the data set created?
  1. What methods were used to collect the data?

    Method 0 of 1
    Type: Lab

    Various instruments are used to collect the data. Refer to the analytical tools sited to obtain specific details about the instruments used. The station is maintained and serviced by LUMCON's technician. Here is the schedule of station visits for the year. Routine sonde swap and inspection-2002-01-04 Routine sonde swap and station inspection.

  2. From what previous works were the data drawn?

  3. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

    Date: Unknown (process 1 of 1)
    none

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?
  1. How well have the observations been checked?

  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

    Gaps in the data set are usually caused by equipment failure. It was noted that on 3/31/2002 that water height was not correct. It was due to an error with the sonde. The sonde was shipped back to the factory and repaired.

  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

    The data sets are based upon the values that are recorded by the data logger.

How can someone get a copy of the data set?
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?

Access_Constraints: None
Use_Constraints: None
