Geometeorological data collected by the USGS Desert Winds Project at Gold Spring, Great Basin Desert, northeastern Arizona, 1979-1992
Entry ID:
OFR_95-78
Summary
Abstract:
This data set contains meteorological data files pertaining to the Gold Spring
Geomet research site. Documentation files and data-accessing display software are also included. The meteorological data are wind speed, peak gust, wind direction, precipitation, air temperature, soil temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity. Data from the monitoring station are voluminous; 14 observations from each station are made as often as ten times per hour, totaling more than a million observations per station per year. Purpose: The primary purpose of this data set is to provide high resolution meteorological data and related surface geological and vegetation data for natural (e.g., uncultivated) desert sites where wind is or has been a major erosive or depositional force. The objectives are twofold: (1) to provide the detailed field measurements needed to carry out quantitative studies of wind as an agent of surface ...  Geographic Coverage

Verification and correction of transmission errors and first-order
verification of some of the sensor values for accuracy and reliability are performed as the data are processed each day. However, the data have not been error-checked on a file-by-file basis at this time. Also, because different sensor data are used by different collaborators, some sensor data have not been ...
