Hanford Meteorological Station computer codes: Volume 5, The TOWER computer code
The Hanford Meteorological Station (HMS), operated by Pacific Northwest Laboratory, archives wind, dry bulb temperature, and soil temperature data gathered each hour from the 410-ft meteorological tower. These data include measurements of wind speed and wind direction for seven heights, eight dry bulb temperatures, and three soil temperatures. The TOWER computer code is used to archive those measurements and apply quality assurance checks to the data. The code accesses an input file, which contains the previous archive's date and hour, and an output file, which contains tower weather observations for the current month. A data entry form consisting of 25 fields is included in the program. The fields must be filled in by the user. The information entered is appended to the monthly file, which provides an archive for the tower data gathered hourly. This volume describes the implementation and operation of the TOWER computer code at the HMS.
