CROCUS Optical All Precipitation Gauge Data at Argonne National Laboratory Prairie Site
- Argonne National Laboratory
- Florida State University
- Texas Tech University
- Central Michigan University
The APG (Optical Scientific Inc. All-Precipitation Gauge 815-DS) dataset contains one-minute measurements of precipitation rate, precipitation accumulation, air temperature, and present weather detection, both in 4680 format and decoded. Data were collected at the Argonne Testbed for Multiscale Observational Science (ATMOS), a 20-acre prairie site at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois. The data is presented as daily NetCDF (.nc) files, each containing approximately 24 hours of observations. Files follow the naming convention of: the project (CROCUS), location (atmos), instrument name (apg), data level (raw, a1), and date (year, month, day). The NetCDF format can be accessed using common scientific software such as Python using xarray, netCDF4 or act-doe.
