TramSpectralData:

This folder contains spectral data collected using Unispec DC field spectrometer and a robotic tram system. 

The folder contains data for the years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009

Data are divided into date folders, each one of which contain data for each tramline (north, central, south)

Spectral data files are in ASCII format (for details of these file please refer to the unispec dc manual available through PP systems website www.ppsystems.com)

For 2005 spectral data contained in the folder '2005' please refer to the metadata contained within each data folder. These dataset was collected by CalState Los Angeles group and followed little different dta format, which are described in the metadata files within each data folder. 

For 2006, detailed metadata was not collected and only a summary metadata sheet was created, available within the 'Metadata/2006' folder

This folder contains basic weather station data collected using a HOBO weather station installed at the end of the central tramline for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The weather station collected data only for the growing season and not throughout the year. 

The folder contains data in Excel spreadsheet form dividied according to  different years.
