Data from VCR/LTER meteorological stations is listed in comma-separated-value (CSV) files by year. A combined file for all years is also available, sorted by station, date and time, however, unlike the annual files, this combined file is too large for most spreadsheets to handle. A compressed copy of all the .CSV files is included in a single .ZIP file for users who wish to conveniently download a copy of all the data.

Li-Cor 200S total radiation sensor When a sensor is removed a new sensor will be placed in service immediately at that station. Because its constant will be different from the one removed, a new multiplier must be calculated for the 21X program and entered into it. The 21X multiplier is calculated as follows: For 200S Sensor: MULT=60/(0.100*uamps) The multipliers must be entered into the datalogger program in the proper location. Changes to the program must be noted in the Station Log and on all "current" listings of that station's 21X program. Licors address: Li-Cor, Inc.

Li-Cor quantum (190S) sensor Units are micro-einsteins per meter squared When a sensor is removed a new sensor will be placed in service immediately at that station. Because its constant will be different from the one removed, a new multiplier must be calculated for the 21X program and entered into it. The 21X multiplier is calculated as follows: For 190S Sensor: MULT=60/(0.604*uamps) The multipliers must be entered into the datalogger program in the proper location. Changes to the program must be noted in the Station Log and on all "current" listings of that station's 21X program.
