Data begins in 1992 on day 170 and data ends in 1996 on day 319. Data is daily average data for the period above. Snowtime and airtime are the average time of all of the data points for a given day. The times are adjusted for local time of the GISPII AWS. Data set 1 consists of 2-line ascii data files. There may be some missing days in these files.
