Data Notes

These data have not been reviewed for accuracy and should be considered provisional. Data are recorded using Davis Instrument's WeatherMonitor II. Data are collected from the stations approximately every 6 weeks. The raw data files are generated using the export function of the browse window (Davis WeatherLink software).  The data are tab delimited with field names in the first row. Raw data files include the following variables summarized on an hourly basis:
 
 
variable description format
Date calendar date mm/dd/yyyy
Time Mountain Standard Time all year hh:mm a/p
TH Index temperature humidity index (°F) 99.9
Temp Out average temperature (°F) 99.9
Wind Chill wind chill (°F) 99.9
Hi Temp highest temperature (°F)  99.9
Low Temp lowest temperature (°F) 99.9
Hum Out outdoor humidity (%) 99
Dew Pt dew point (°F) 99.9
Wind Speed average wind speed (mph)  99
Hi high wind speed (mph) 99
Dir predominate wind direction (ex. NNW) xxx
Rain rain  (in inches)* 9.99
Bar barometric pressure* (inches of hg) 99.999
Temp In temperature inside enclosure (°F) 99.9
Hum In humidity inside enclosure (%)  99
Arc Per archive period (in minutes) 99

*note* barometric pressure is not accurately set.  Useful in relative measurements within one station but not useful to measure differences between stations.
*note* the tipping bucket rain gauges are not heated therefore do not accurately record snow events.
