Lake-ICE: 20-minute Surface Meteorological Composite

Summary

The Lake-ICE 20 Minute Surface Composite contains data from several networks (i.e., Artais Automated Weather Observation System, Handar Awos, and Qualimetrics AWOS) for the Lake-ICE domain. Data from these sources were quality controlled with the data from the Lake-ICE 5-Minute Surface and Lake-ICE Hourly Surface Composites. This data contains only 20-Minute AWOS data. These data files are available as ASCII text files and netCDF data files.
