Jornada Basin LTER Cross-scale Interactions Study (CSIS) Block 15 meteorological station: 1-second summary precipitation data beginning 2017

General Information

Local Identifier:knb-lter-jrn.210413103.1
Title:Jornada Basin LTER Cross-scale Interactions Study (CSIS) Block 15 meteorological station: 1-second summary precipitation data beginning 2017
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

1-second summary precipitation data at CSIS Block-1 met station. Total precipitation per second is recorded only if there is measurable precipitation. This is recorded at an automated meteorological station installed at Jornada LTER CSIS Block-1 site.. This climate station is operated by the Jornada LTER Program. This is an ONGOING dataset. IMPORTANT: Rainfall is only recorded when a bucket tip occurs on the tipping bucket rain gauge. If there is missing data due to equipment or other problems, there will be no indication of this within this dataset. The user needs to review precipitation values in the 30 minute or hourly summary datasets to determine if there are missing data in this 1 second detailed precipitation dataset.

Data processing using the GCE Data Toolbox for MATLAB

Abstract:

The GCE Data Toolbox is a comprehensive library of functions for metadata-based analysis quality control, transformation and management of ecological data sets. The toolbox is based on the GCE Data Structure, a MATLAB specification for storing tabular data along with all information required to interpret the data and generate formatted metadata (documentation). Metadata fields in the structure are queried by toolbox functions for all operations, allowing functions to process and format values appropriately based on the type of information they represent. This semantic processing approach supports highly automated and intelligent data analysis and ensures data set validity throughout all processing steps.

Quality Control
Quality Control Step 1: 
Description:

Quality control analysis was performed using the GCE Data Toolbox for MATLAB software. Column data types are validated upon importing the table into MATLAB, and qualifier flags are automatically generated for data values based on QA/QC criteria for each data column pre-defined in metadata templates (e.g. value range checks, sanity checks, pattern checks). Automatically-assigned qualifier flags are reviewed graphically and revised or augmented as deemed appropriate by GCE information management staff, based on metadata information from the contributor, values of other measured variables, or statistical tests. Qualifier flags are also assigned to values that are imputed or derived, revised, or otherwise differ from values in the original data submission. A column of coded qualifier flags is generated and included in the data table if flags are assigned to any value in a data column.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

Summary: A met station consisting of a 3-meter mast is installed on the east side of the site between plots B and C. Air temperature, relative humidity, wind direction and wind speed sensors are mounted on the mast. A vertical wind profile is measured at most sites with anemometers at 0.37m, 0.75m, 1.5m and 3m on the mast.

Instrument(s):Rain Gauge; Manufacturer: Qualimetrics. (Model: 6011-B Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge); Parameter: Precipitation (Accuracy: 0.5% at <0.5 in/hr)
Description:

Method - Sensor readings are taken at 1 second intervals by a Campbell Scientific Instruments (CSI) CR1000 data logger and converted from analog voltage to calibrated digital data, if necessary, by the CR1000 data logger program (e.g., C-Cali_CR1000_20150925.cr1). Minimum, average, and maximum air temperature and relative humidity; average and maximum wind speed; average and standard deviation of wind direction, and total precipitation are calculated by the CR1000 datalogger program and stored in tables in the datalogger storage module at intervals of 5, 30, and 60 minutes and daily. One minute precipitation totals are calculated during precipitation events. These data are downloaded hourly from each remote site via a 900 MHz spread spectrum wireless radio network using CSI LoggerNet software. The data are parsed, quality-checked, documented and archived in the JRN-LTER Information Management office using data retrieval and parsing functions in the GCE Data Toolbox for MATLAB (https://gce-lter.marsci.uga.edu/lter/research/tools/data_toolbox.htm).

Abstract:

Collection of baseline climate data at the 15 Jornada LTER Cross-scale Interactions (CSIS) study blocks, New Mexico, supports the environmental monitoring objectives of the Jornada LTER monitoring program. Measurements are aggregated at intervals of 5, 30, 60 minutes and daily, with precipitation additionally provided with 1 second aggregation during precipitation events. Data are downloaded hourly from each remote site via a 900 MHz spread spectrum wireless radio network. The met station variables measured include air temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed. Precipitation is not measured at Block 1 and Block 12 because of proximity to Block 2 and Block 13, respectively.
