All measurements (except barometric pressure) are taken every minute. Data is averaged by the Campbell CR10 data logger and stored once ever 30 min. Barometric pressure is sampled only once every 30 min. Therefore, all data points, except barometric pressure, are averages (precipitation is the sum) of 30 measurements. Variables measured: Temperature, Relative Humidity, Barometric Pressure, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Accumulated Liquid Precipitation (rain or melted snow; actual snow accumulation is NOT measured), Quanta of Light (PAR)
