Weather Station data from University of Washington Friday Harbor Laboratories, Friday Harbor WA, Cantilever Point from 2006 to 2021 (NCEI Accession 0278807)

Preview graphic

This dataset contains meteorological and physical data collected during deployment FHL_WeatherStation in the Coastal Waters of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia from 2006-08-11 to 2021-12-31. These data include PAR, air temperature, humidity, precip_level, wind_dir, and wind_speed. The instruments used to collect these data include Automated Weather Station. These data were collected by Emily Carrington of University of Washington as part of the "The effects of temperature on ecological processes in a rocky intertidal community: a mechanistic approach (Intertidal Temp Effects)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2022-09-14.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Supplemental Information	Acquisition Description: Data Gaps: all data streams - June 20, 2007 to October 28, 2007: Lost data/failure to log data. - November 25, 2009 to December 2, 2010: Weather station repaired after electrical storm. - July 13, 2012 to July 27, 2012: Weather station repaired after electrical storm. Data Gaps: Total Radiation There are several gaps in the Total Radiometer data stream, due to instrument maintenance issues. These gaps are all filled with "nd": - 2006 to August, 24 2009 23:59 software issue (calculation error) - May 21, 2014 14:45 to May 22, 2014 9:45 - December 29, 2015 5:45 to January 3, 2016 12:15 - October 6, 2016 onward due to maintenance difficulties, the Total Radiometer was removed permanently. Data calibration: Solar Radiation_PAR The Solar Radiation_PAR meter drifted out of calibration from 2013 to 2021, evidenced by a steady decline in slope when the data were plotted against Solar Radiation_Energy. Rad_PAR were adjusted in these years using an annual correction factor that restored the expected linear relationship between Rad_PAR and Rad_Energy (2.112, the mean of slopes from 2006-2012). The correction factor for each year is a follows: 2013: 1.189, 2014: 1.235, 2015: 1.252, 2016: 1.254, 2017: 1.320, 2018: 1.336, 2019: 1.406, 2020: 1.366, 2021: 1.364. Data availability: These data are live streamed to the FHL website: http://wx.fhl.washington.edu/vdv/VV_Frame.php These data are also archived in near real-time at NANOOS ( http://nvs.nanoos.org/Explorer ) as asset FHL_friharbor1. The data available here at BCO-DMO differ from the above in that they are presented in yearly blocks and have been fully verified.
