    • Abstract

  • Near surface climate data recorded at St. Denis National Wildlife Area at a 10m tower (10m is reference for wind speed measurements). Hourly measurements: Temperature, RH, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, St. Dev. of wind speed, Precip, Barometric Pressure, Radiation (Incoming shortwave, Photosynthetically active radiation). http://www.mb.ec.gc.ca/nature/whp/nwa/df06s09.en.html
