Local Energy-budget Measurement (LEM) Weather Station Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/535.019

Summary
This data is from the University of Utah's LEMS instruments captured September
- November 2012 and April - June 2013 during the Mountain Terrain Atmospheric
Modeling and Observations (MATERHORN-X) field campaign. LEMS are solar
powered, low-cost Energy-budget Measurement Stations, which have been designed
and assembled at the University of Utah EFD lab. LEMS monitor incoming solar
radiation (LI-200), 2-m air temperature and relative humidity (Sensirion SHT
15, Humidity +/- 2-5% Temperature +/- 0.5K), air pressure (Bosch BMP085),
surface temperature (Zytemp TN9), as well as soil temperature and moisture
(Decagon 5TM) at two levels below ground. Data are logged using an
Arduino-based open source controller with a data logger that can store up to 2
GB of data. These are the original raw data files and have not undergone
quality control procedures. These files are in ASCII CSV format with a header
line. Data filenames contain the specific instrument ID. The time stamps are
based off of UTC time for all the instruments for the MATERHORN-X data, unless
it was stated otherwise. Please see the README file for more information.
