yr = year
mo = month
da = day
hr = hour
mi = minute of observation

tair = air temperature at sensor boom height
tint = internal temperature inside electronics enclosure
tsnow = temperature at lower temperature probe - initially 
        1 meter below surface
solar = solar radiation measurement - a negative value sometimes
        results when sun is down. This is due to A/D jitter.
tdiff = temperature difference between sensor boom probe and the
        probe at 2 meters above surface initially.  This will go
        off scale if lower temp probe is eventually buried in
        the snow as snow accumulates.
t20 = temperature at 2 meters derived from subtracting tdiff 
      from tair.
t20 = temperature at 2 meters derived from adding temperature
      differences from snow temperature probe.
      Note: these last two values should be the same but that
      would only be the case if all probes are at original 
      levels with respect to the boom and snow surface.
t40 = temperature at original 4 meter level
t35 = temperature at original 3.5 meter level
  .
  .
t00 = temperature at original snow surface level
t-5 = temperature at original -50 cm level below snow surface
t-10 = temperature at -1.0 meter level (PRT sensor) also snow     
       temp
  .
t-40 = temperature at original -4.0 meter level
