Below are all of our 10-minute data we have collected since November of 2004 when I first installed the Campbell Scientific MetData1 automated weather station.

What are Array IDs?
A: The array ID is simply an arbitrary 3-digit number I've assigned to a program Tim Boyle and I wrote in EdLog of LoggerNet software--a Windows based program. Within EdLog, I can write any number of commands dictating to the CR10X data logger what to collect, when to collect and how to disseminate what has been collected. Array ID 115 is written such that it instructs the weather station to collect data on a 10-minute schedule 24/7, then process this data using a split program and exporting that data to the WWW as well as local storage modules. I also use array IDs 244, 060 and 240 for other collection schedules for the National Weather Service and backup files. The reason I chose the number 115 is that when the automated station first began collecting data in 2004, I originally wrote the program to collect data on a 15-minute schedule rather than 10. Since LoggerNet requires 3-digit array IDs, I couldn't use 15 to label the 15-minute collection program, therefore I had to use a preceding number. I arbitrarily chose 1 to precede 15, hence the 115. It could have just as easily been 015, but 1 is seemed more wholesome than zero.

How are times interpreted?
Converting times to the 12-hour clock

What is soil temperature and what is it used for?
Soil temperature is a subterranean temperature taken at a depth of 20 millimeters beneath ground surface. This data is commonly collected and interpreted by pedologists, phytologists, and farmers to name a few. Soil temperature data is important because it helps us understand the development and formation of specific soils, it helps us consistently classify and accurately map soils, and it is invaluable knowledge used to guide the use use and management of soil-plant-water systems. Measured soil temperature greatly enhances the understanding and management of soils and land use planning. Not to sound ironic, but the sky is the limit on what soil temperature data could be used for.

What is battery voltage data used for?
This data can be ignored. It's simply data I collect to keep an eye on the backup power system I have installed for our weather station.

How do I interpret solar radiation data?
Solar radiation data is given in watts per square meter which is the SI unit for radiative and other energy fluxes. 1 watt per (square meter) = 1 kg / s³
