These files contain data for the Garwood Valley meteorology station. This station reported data for about a year, during 2011. On January 11, 2012 the station was disconnected and relocated to the Miers Valley. Met data for Garwood can be obtained visiting the Garwood Ice Cliff Met Station. Name: Maciej K.

After retrieving this data (usually every January), the parameters that are recorded are processed from level 0 (raw) to level 1 (processed, provided on the web). The raw data file descriptions and task lists summarize what was done to get from  level 0 to level 1 for all station found at the following address:       http://mcmlter.lternet.edu/data/meteorology/tasks/task_lists.htm       https://mcm.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/GADM_AIRT.csv GADM_AIRT eng; US McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER GADM_AIRT Data Source Definition : GADM Air temperature spreadsheet Record Delimiter : \n Number of Header Lines : 27 Number of Footer Lines : 1 Orientation : Column Quote Character : "Field Delimiter : , false DATASET_CODE Code for given set of information for Lake Vida meteorology station METLOCID Location code for Lake Vida meteorology station DATE_TIME Date/time of sample (New Zealand DST, +13 UTC) Date Time Format: MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI AIRT3M Average air temperature at 3 m above ground AIRTMAX Maximum air temperature at 3 m above ground AIRTMIN Minimum air temperature at 3 m above ground AIRT_COMMENTS Noted comments by the investigator about the particular measure of air temperature DBF https://mcm.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/GADM_AIRT.csv https://mcm.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/GADM_RADN.csv GADM_RADN eng; US McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER GADM_RADN Data Source Definition : Garwood Valley Solar Radiation Measurements and Units Record Delimiter : \n Number of Header Lines : 27 Number of Footer Lines : 1 Orientation : Column Quote Character : "Field Delimiter : , false DATASET_CODE Code for given set of information for Lake Vida meteorology station METLOCID Location code for Lake Vida meteorology station DATE_TIME Date/time of sample (New Zealand DST, +13 UTC) Date Time Format: MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI PAR Photosynthetically active radiation SWRADIN Incoming shortwave radiation/solar flux SWRADOUT Outgoing shortwave radiation/solar flux RADN_COMMENTS Noted comments by the investigator about the particular measure of radiation DBF https://mcm.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/GADM_RADN.csv https://mcm.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/GADM_RH.csv GADM_RH eng; US McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER GADM_RH Data Source Definition : Garwood Valley Relative Humidity Measurement and Units Record Delimiter : \n Number of Header Lines : 27 Number of Footer Lines : 1 Orientation : Column Quote Character : "Field Delimiter : , false DATASET_CODE Code for given set of information for Lake Vida meteorology station METLOCID Location code for the Garwood Valley meteorology station DATE_TIME Date and time when the sample was acquired Date Time Format: MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI RH The relative humidity, in a percent from 0 (all dry) to 100 (saturated wet) RH_COMMENTS Noted comments by the investigator about the particular measure of relative humidity DBF https://mcm.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/GADM_RH.csv https://mcm.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/GADM_SOILT.csv GADM_SOILT eng; US McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER GADM_SOILT Data Source Definition : Soil_Temperature_Units Record Delimiter : \n Number of Header Lines : 27 Number of Footer Lines : 1 Orientation : Column Quote Character : "Field Delimiter : , false DATASET_CODE Code for given set of information for Lake Vida meteorology station METLOCID Location code for Lake Vida meteorology station DATE_TIME Date/time of sample (New Zealand DST, +13 UTC) Date Time Format: MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI SOILT0CM Soil temperature at 0 cm depth SOILT5CM Soil temperature at 5 cm depth SOILT10CM Soil temperature at 10 cm depth SOILT_COMMENTS Noted comments by the investigator about the particular measure of SOILT DBF https://mcm.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/GADM_SOILT.csv https://mcm.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/GADM_WIND.csv GADM_WIND eng; US McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER GADM_WIND Data Source Definition : Garwood Valley Wind Measurement and Units Record Delimiter : \n Number of Header Lines : 27 Number of Footer Lines : 1 Orientation : Column Quote Character : "Field Delimiter : , false DATASET_CODE Code for given set of information for Lake Vida meteorology station METLOCID Location code for Lake Vida meteorology station DATE_TIME Date/time of sample (New Zealand DST, +13 UTC) Date Time Format: MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI WDIR Average wind direction WDIRSTD Standard deviation of wind direction WSPD Wind speed WSPDMAX Maximum wind speed WSPDMIN Minimum wind speed WIND_COMMENTS Noted comments by the investigator about the particular measure of WIND DBF https://mcm.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/GADM_WIND.csv dataset  The Garwood Valley meteorological station was added to the McMurdo Dry Valley network in the 2010-2011 field season.          The station was set up to  sample sensors every 30 seconds and send summary statistics (for example, averages and maximums) to solid-state storage modules every 15 minutes. This has resulted in approximately 20 values being recorded for final storage in every output interval.   After a season, it was decided to move this station (codename GADM) to the nearby Miers Valley (codename MISM).  The meteorology at this valley is well covered by the Garwood Valley Ice Cliff station served first by Joe Levy's group.
