Abstract

Meteorological data are currently being collected at two locations at the Teller Site, Seward Peninsula. This December 6, 2017 release includes data for: TELLER BOTTOM -- Station is located in the lower watershed in a tussock / willow transition zone and co-located with continuous snow depth measurements and subsurface measurements. TELLER TOP Station is situated near TL_IS_5 in the upper watershed and co-located with continuous snow depth measurements and subsurface measurements. Two types of data products are provided for these stations: First, meteorological and site characterization data grouped by sensor/measurement type (e.g., radiation or soil pit temperature and moisture). These are *.csv files. Second, a Data Visualization tool is provided for quick visualization of measurements over time at a station. Download the *_Visualizer.zip file, extract, and click on the 'index.html' file. Data values are the same in both products.

Methodology
Data is processed internally using a data quality and management suite of tools: https://github.com/rwspicer/csv_utilities Site sensors are installed following WMO protocol as appropriate.

Desiccant is replaced twice per year in the radiometers and main instrument box. Sensors are checked for levelness, environmental detritus, corrosion, and other anomalies that can be visually inspected during these visits. Quality Checking: Since there is some duplication across the Seward Peninsula, spatial comparisons of all parameters are possible. This is done in an automated fashion using internal tools as well as through manual observation. Summer precipitation is also compared with data from nearby Seward Peninsula sites.
