Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site (GLEES) Brooklyn tower historical meteorology data, 1987-1998

This data publication contains Brooklyn Lake meteorological tower data collected from 1987-1998 at the Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site (GLEES), in the Snowy Range near Centennial, Wyoming. These data were recompiled from previously-unreported internal records stored as ASCII text, spreadsheets, physical data sheets, and physical data charts. To reconstitute the most complete possible record of meteorogolical data at the Brooklyn Lake tower, we standardized units and time codes, digitized the physical formats, and selected the best possible record where overlap among data formats existed. The resulting measured variables include air temperature, soil temperature, wind speed, wind direction, ozone concentration, relative humidity, wetness, dryness, precipitation, and shortwave, longwave, and net radiation at a mixture of hourly and half-hourly intervals.
These data were collected to provide ambient meteorological data and to support eddy covariance flux measurements and other track gas fluxes collected at the GLEES Brooklyn Lake tower. This study was conducted from 1987-1998, after which all equipment was removed from the tower. A similar study was redeployed on the same tower from 1999-2006 with that data registered as the US-GBT AmeriFlux site (ameriflux.org). Those data have been combined with data from the newer (2004-present) nearby scaffold to constitute the US-GLE AmeriFlux site.
