Summary
Abstract:
This collection contains all of the downloadable digital geoscience data products produced by the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, Mineral Resources Branch (MRB). These products include geological maps, databases and images. The products are intended for use in Geographic Information System (GIS) software or other software packages that can use the data. The products are available in a ... variety of formats including: ESRI Shapefiles; ESRI exchange
format (E00) files; DXF/DBF; and images in TIFF and JPEG format with ArcView
world file. Some map products may also have associated PDF files.The intent of
this collection is to allow users access to MRB digital geoscience data
products. Each product has a metadata record. The metadata records can be
searched to assist users to discover geoscience data products on Nova Scotia
that meet the criteria they are searching for and to provide a link to allow
the user to download those products for their use for free.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Additional Description: Entry verification The CDMO Weather Data Management
Program was used to QA/QC the data, verified by John Haskins. a) Data Input Procedures: The
15-minute, 1-hour average, and 24-hour data were downloaded from each instrument on the weather
station to a Campbell Scientific CR10X datalogger. The CDMO Data Logger Program (nerr.csi) was
loaded into the CR10X and controls the sensors and data collection schedule (see 2b of the Entry
Verification section for the data collection schedule). The CR10X then interfaced with the
PC208W software supplied by Campbell Scientific. Data are saved in the Campbell Scientific
format on both computer and backed up onto compact disc. A common error that is encountered is
wind speeds below 0.5 m/s. The storage module is manually brought into the lab and downloaded.
Two storage modules are used so no data is lost while downloading data from the module. Once an
entire month of data was available, the CDMO Weather Data Management Program (WDMP) was used to
convert the files to an Access database. This program was developed in Visual Basic to interface
with the NERRS data collection schedule (see 2b of the Entry Verification section for the data
collection schedule). The WDMP will automatically input and convert the monthly raw data file
into and Access Database. There are three main steps the WDMP performs. First, it converts the
comma delimited monthly raw data file into an Access Database. Secondly, it checks the data
against a predetermined set of error criteria (see Part C of this section). Finally, it produces
error and summary reports. Any anomalous data were investigated and are noted below in Anomalous
Data section. Any data corrections that were performed are noted in the Data Correction section
below. All data management performed by John Haskins. The Centralized Data Management Office
converted all SWMP weather data collected with CR10X program versions prior to version 4.0 which
was distributed in October 2003. This was necessary in order to merge the old data format (12
array output) with the new data format found in version 4.0 (3 array output). The new format
produces averages, maximums and minimums every fifteen minutes (array 15), every hour (array 60)
and every day (array 144) for any sensors hooked up to the CR10X. Specifically, the 150 and 151
fifteen minute data were converted to the new 15 array; the hourly 101, 102, 105 and 106 data
were converted to the new 60 array; and the daily 241, 242, 243, 244, 245 and 246 data were
converted to the new 144 array. With the new format, the use of 55555's to code for deleted data
and 11111's to code for missing data has been abandoned. Hence, all 55555's or 11111's contained
in the SWMP weather data collected prior to Version 4.0 of the CR10X program were removed and
left blank. b) Data Collection Schedule i) Data is collected in the following formats: 1) 15
minute data are instantaneous readings except for PAR and precipitation data that are totalized
from 5 second samples sorted by date and time. (Arrays 150 and 151) 2) Hourly averages (Arrays
101 and 102) are calculated from 5 second samples sorted by date and time except for PAR and
precipitation data that are hourly totals calculated from 15 minute totals (Arrays 105 and 106).
3) Daily average (arrays 241 and 242), maximum with time, and minimum with time (arrays 243 and
244) are calculated from 5 second samples sorted by date and time except for PAR and
precipitation data which are 24 hour totals calculated from hourly totals (arrays 245 and 246).
ii) 15 minute sample point parameters: Date, Time, Air Temperature (°C), Relative Humidity (%),
LiCor (PAR), Barometric Pressure (mb), Wind Speed (m/s), Wind Direction (Array 150); Rainfall
(mm) (Array 151) iii) Hourly average parameters: Date, Time, Air Temperature (°C), Relative
Humidity (%), Barometric Pressure (mb) (Array 101); Wind Speed (m/s), Wind Direction, Wind Speed
Maximum (Array 102) iv) Hourly total parameters: LiCor (PAR) (Array 105); Rainfall (mm) (Array
106) v) Daily Average parameters: Date, Time, Air Temperature (°C), Relative Humidity (%),
Barometric Pressure (mb) (Array 241); Wind Speed (m/s), Wind Direction, Wind Direction Standard
Deviation (using Yamartino's Algorithm) (Array 242) vi) Daily Total parameter: LiCor (PAR)
(Array 245); Rainfall (mm) (Array 246) vii) Daily Maximum parameters: Date, Time, Air
Temperature (°C), Time, Relative Humidity (%), Time, LiCor (PAR), Time, Barometric Pressure
(mb), Time, Wind Speed (m/s), Time, Battery Voltage, Time (Array 243) viii) Daily Minimum
parameters: Date, Time, Air Temperature (°C), Time, Relative Humidity (%), Time, LiCor (PAR),
Time, Barometric Pressure (mb), Time, Wind Speed (m/s), Time, Battery Voltage, Time (Array 244)
c) Error/Anomalous Data Criteria Air Temp: - 15 min sample greater than max for the day - 15 min
sample less than the min for the day - 15 min sample greater than 3.0 °C from the previous 15
minutes - Max and Min values not recorded for the day - 1-hour average greater than 10% above
the greatest 15 min sample recorded in the hour Relative Humidity: - Changed by more than 25%
