Description

Datalogger files are raw USCRN data. However, instead of being collected via satellite, the raw data are collected from station dataloggers (also referred to as PDAs--Personal Digital Assistant) in the field during site maintenance visits by ATDD (contractor) engineers. These data are uploaded to a site at Oak Ridge National Lab from where they are pulled by NCDC. These raw data are received as CSV formatted files--decoders and detailed documentation are required to read the data and will be provided to ingest. These files may not be available until months after the included observations are made. These data are considered of higher quality than USCRN Raw/streamed data.
