The set of all measurements reported from a GEOMET station
having the same temporal coordinate.
Label |
Definition |
wind speed at 6.1m |
Velocity of the wind at the indicated height above the
ground at the station location. |
wind speed at 2.7m and 1.2m |
Velocity of the wind at the indicated height above the
ground at the station location. |
peak gust at 6.1m |
Maximum value of wind speed at the given height attained
since the previous reported value. |
peak gust at 1.2m |
Maximum value of wind speed at the given height attained
since the previous reported value. |
wind direction |
Direction from which the wind comes, with zero values
indicating true north and positive values indicating
angular distance from true north clockwise (i.e. 90
degrees is due east). |
precipitation |
Cumulative yearly precipitation at the station site. |
air temperature at 6.1m and at 1.2m |
Temperature of ambient air at elevations 6.1 meters or 1.2
meters above the base of the station. |
air temperature at 1.8m |
Temperature of ambient air 1.8 meters above the base of
the station. |
humidity |
Relative humidity of the ambient air near the station. |
barometric pressure |
Pressure of the ambient air near the station. |
soil temperature at 4cm, 10cm, and 20cm |
Temperature of the soil at the depths indicated below the
station. From 19791027 through 19900808 the value
reported is soil temperature at 12.7cm (it is given in the
data files where the 10cm value is later stored).
Occasional problems with instrument disturbance affecting
the depth of these sensors are described in the data
quality report. |
