United States Climate Reference Network (USCRN) Raw Experimental Datasets

The Experimental USCRN data consists of data from four separate locations. Two of these stations--Johnstown, PA and Sterling, VA--were used to establish USCRN data collection and processing for precipitation. These "testbed" stations were important to evaluate the best instrumentation for the USCRN sites and their relation to other standard precipitation gauges available between 2003 and 2008. Also included is data from Marshall Field, Boulder, CO which continues to be used to calibrate different instruments used at the USCRN sites. Finally, Tiksi, Russia (Sakha Republic) was an experimental subset of USCRN standard equipment being tested in a severely cold environment. The two "testbed" stations (Johnstown and Sterling) and Tiksi are now inactive, but the expectation is that Marshall will continue to operate and send data to archive on a monthly basis. Documentation accompanies the experimental data based on location.
