Daily Variables:
01 Jan 1978 to 20 Jan 1981:
Mean sunrise to sunrise temperature
Mean, max daytime temperature
Mean, min nighttime temperature
20 Jan 1981 to 12 Feb 1987:
Mean, max, min sunrise to sunrise temperature
Mean daytime, mean nighttime temperature
12 Feb 1987 to 08 Apr 1998:
Mean, max, min daily (midnight to midnight) temperature
Mean, max, min daytime temperature
Mean, max, min nighttime temperature
Time of max, time of min for daily, daytime, nighttime
08 Apr 1998 to Present:
Mean, max, min daily (midnight to midnight) air temperature
Daily time of max, time of min
Fine Resolution Variables:
08 Apr 1998 to Present:
Mean hourly air temperature
Sensor height: 100 cm in summer, 200 cm in winter (approx. Oct-Apr)
200 cm (permanently located on 10 Jul 1987)
Notes: Replacement site for RS11.
Changes in measured temperature parameters were due to changes in
the digitizing program used to process chart data. All daily summaries
are based on a sunrise to sunrise day before 12 Feb 1987.
Beginning 12 Feb 1987, a true daily summary is available due to the use
of a revised digitizing program. The revised program produces output
similar to the CR10 dataloggers used for thermographs.
On 10 Jul 1987, a CR10 datalogger is installed. The Partlow chart
recorder was maintained until 02 Jun 1990 as a backup, and then removed.
Daytime/nighttime calculation discontinued 08 April 1998.

Mean six-hourly soil temperature
Sensor depth: 20 cm
10, 20, 30 cm (after 10 Jul 1987)
Notes: Soil temperature was digitized on a sunrise to sunrise basis.
After 12 Feb 1987, a true daily summary is available due to the use
of a revised digitizing program. The revised program produces
output similar to the CR10 dataloggers used for thermographs.
On 10 Jul 1987, a CR10 datalogger is installed, and additional soil
depths at 10 and 30 cm are added. The Partlow chart recorder
was maintained until 02 Jun 1990 as a backup, and then removed.
Replacement site for RS11.
