When there is rainfall within the archive period, the highest measured value is reported. When no rainfall occurs, the rain rate will slowly decay based on the elapse time since the last measured rainfalldecimalmeterrationalSolar_Rad_Solar RadiationAverage solar radiation reported at 30 minute intervals (collected every 15 seconds)decimalmeter-1SOLAR_ENERGYSolar energyReported as amount of accumulated solar radiation energy over a period of time measured in LangleysdecimalmeterrationalHI SOLAR_RADMaximum solar radiationMaximum solar radiation measured during the 30 min intervalintmeterrationalUV_INDEXUV indexAverage UV measured reported at 30 minute intervals (collected every 15 seconds)decimalmeterrationalUV_DoseUV DoseMinimum Erythemal Dose of UVdecimalmeterrationalHI_UVMaximum UVHighest UV reading during a 30 min intervaldecimalmeterrationalHEAT_D-DHeating degree daysUses an integration method, where the software calculates degree-days using the average temperature (above a base threshold) for an interval and the interval timedecimalmeterrationalCOOL_D-DCooling degree daysUses an integration method, where the software calculates degree-days using the average temperature (below a base threshold) for an interval and the interval timedecimalmeterrationalIN_TEMPIndoor temperatureIndoor temperaturedecimalmeterrationalIN_HUMIndoor humidityIndoor humidityintmeterrationalIN_DEWIndoor dew pointIndoor dew pointdecimalmeterrationalIn_HeatIn HeatNo description for this attributedecimalmeterrationalIn_EMCIndoor Equilibrium Moisture ContentIndoor Equilibrium Moisture Contentdecimalmeterrational0100In_Air_DensityIndoor air densityIndoor Equilibrium Moisture ContentdecimalmeterrationalETEvapotranspirationEvapotranspirationdecimalmeterrationalSOIL 1_MOIST.Soil moisture 1Soil moisture reading at a depth of 10cmintmeterintegerSOIL 2_MOISTSoil moisture 2Soil moisture reading at a depth of 30cmintmeterintegerSOIL_TEMP1Soil temperature 1Soil temperature reading at a depth of 5cmdecimalmeterintegerSOIL_TEMP2Soil temperature 2Soil temperature reading at a depth of 10cmdecimalmeterintegerWind_SampNumber wind packets received during the archive intervalThe umber wind packets received during the archive intervalintmeterintegerWind_TXRF Channel for Wind DataRF Channel for Wind DataintISS_ReceptISS receptionISS receptionintmeterinteger0100Arc__Int_Archival IntervalHow often the datalogger collects dataintmeterinteger
