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.
