Entry ID

ARCSS005

Summary

Automated weather station data (temperature, pressure, relative humidity, and wind direction and speed) were collected on and near the GISP2 site in Greenland. The data were collected every 10 minutes and compiled into three-hourly intervals at each site from 1987 to 1995.
