Temperature, Pressure, Ozone and Albedo
Data for the week of IPMMI
 


Temperature and pressure were collected and average into one minute data bins, and can be retrieved from the following files:

Monday, 15 June, 1998    980615.tap        Temperature plot  Pressure plot
Tuesday, 16 June, 1998   980616.tap        Temperature plot   Pressure plot
Thursday, 18 June, 1998   980618.tap        Temperature plot   Pressure plot
Friday, 19 June, 1998            980619.tap        Temperature plot   Pressure plot



Ozonesondes were launched daily during the intensive periods.  These data can be found in the following files:

Ground-based ozone measurements using the Microtops instrument, the Boulder Dobson, as well as the integral of the sonde measurements give estimates of the total overhead ozone column:

Albedo measurements were made with an Eppley radiometer over the surrounding vegetation during an overcast period on 15 June, 1998:

downwelling     upwelling         albedo
1.615                 0.048                 0.030
1.675                 0.050                 0.030
1.675                 0.044                 0.026
1.675                 0.055                 0.033
1.675                 0.050                 0.030
1.655                 0.046                 0.028
                                 average=> 0.029
                                 std dev.=> 0.002



Light scattered clouds, direct sun 18 June 1998, 1200 hrs:

The horizon at the Marshall site varies due to the presence of the mountains to the west and the Denver basin to the east.  The elevation of the horizon is summarized in the following figure and downloadable text file:
