The data reads as follows: 1.Pir_net: also called Net Infrared Radiation is used to describe the short or long wave radiation that is incoming radiation from the sun. The units on this are W/m2. This is a sample. 2.Case_Temp_K: This is a temperature that is measured in Kelvin. This is a sample. 3.PSP_in_Avg: also called Precision Spectral Pyranometer is used to describe the short wave radiation that is incoming radiation from the sun. The units on this are W/m2. This is an Average. 4.PSP_in_Min: also called Precision Spectral Pyranometer is used to describe the short wave radiation that is incoming radiation from the sun. The units on this are W/m2. This is a Minimum. 5.PSP_in_Max: also called Precision Spectral Pyranometer is used to describe the short wave radiation that is incoming radiation from the sun. The units on this are W/m2. This is a Maximum. 6.PIR_in_Avg: also called Incoming Infrared Radiation is used to describe the long wave radiation that is incoming radiation from the sun. The units on this are W/m2. This is an Average. 7.PIR_in_Min: also called Incoming Infrared Radiation is used to describe the long wave radiation that is incoming radiation from the sun. The units on this are W/m2. This is a Minimum. 8.PIR_in_Max: also called Incoming Infrared Radiation is used to describe the long wave radiation that is incoming radiation from the sun. The units on this are W/m2 This is a Maximum. 9.Wd_2minavg: This is showing the wind direction at the time when the wind occured. This is being calculated in two minute averages. 10.Ws_2minavg: This is showing the wind speed at the time when the wind occured. This is being calculated in two minute averages. 11.AirTC: This is a just a measurement of temperature that was measured outside. This is measured in degrees Celsius. 12.RH: This is the relative humidity of the atmosphere. This is measured in percent. 13.BP_mbar: This is the atmospheric pressure, the units are in millibars and this measurement is a sample. This File was made by: Theresa Cody on July 24 2018
