AFM-7: Mesonet Meteorological Data


P.I.(s): Stan Shewchuk -- Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC)
Co-I(s): Brett Smith, Heather Osborne, and Kim Young -- SRC

Objectives: The Saskatchewan Research Council, located in Saskatoon, has implemented and maintained a meso-network of nine (9) or ten (10) automated meteorological stations located in the Northern and Southern study areas and the intervening transect. Standard meteorological and radiation data is being collected and 15 minute average values produced for BORIS. Some limited analysis of fields is also available. These data are available from the fall of 1993 through the fall of 1996.

    Objectives:
    The Saskatchewan Research Council, located in Saskatoon, has implemented and maintained a meso network of nine (9) or ten (10) automated meteorological stations located in the Northern and Southern study areas and the intervening transect. Standard meteorological and radiation data is being collected and 15 minute average values produced for BORIS. Some limited analysis of fields is also available. These data are available from the fall of 1993 through the fall of 1994.

    Types of Data Collected:
    Synoptic scale surface data

    Equipment Used:
    Standard Instrumentation

    Summary of Places and Times of Measurements:
    Measurements were collected at all sites listed in EXPLAN continuously throughout the IFC campaign periods for the AMS system

    Known Problems:
    Aside from normal wear of sensors in continuous operation, our MESONET sensors were particularly sensitive to lightning induces transient currents at various times during the project.
