U Wind speed.
dir Wind direction.
T_air Air temperature.
RH Relative Humdity.
q Specific Humidity.
T_surf Surface Temperature from IR-Thermometer.
SWdn Downwelling shortwave radiation (=Global Radiation).
LWdn Downwelling longwave radiation (=back radiation), only present at Master stations with IDs = *3.
A_net Net radiation (= SWdn-SWup + LWdn-LWup), only present at Master stations with IDs = *3.
albedo Albedo (= SWup/SWdn).
P Air pressure.
dP Pressure difference to 24h gliding mean.
precip Precipitation amount in the 10min basic measuering interval. At some stations fog water is triggering counts of the sensor.
cum_precip Total accumulated Precipitation.
Lwet Normalized signal of the Leafwetness sensor: Lwet < 0 → dry, Lwet > 1 → wet.
H_bow Sensible heatflux from Bowen ratio method. Very sensitive to small errors in temperature and relative humidity.
L_bow Latent heatflux from Bowen ratio method. Very sensitive to small errors in temperature and relative humidity.
uq_flx Zonal flux (W-E) of water vapor from <u'q'> the daily average of the product of the deviations of zonal wind speed (u') and specific humidity (q') from the 24h mean.
vq_flx Meridional flux (S-N) of water vapor from <v'q'> the daily average of the product of the deviations of meridional wind speed (v') and specific humidity (q') from the 24h mean.
um_flx Zonal mass flux (W-E) from <u'ρ'> the daily average of the product of the deviations of zonal wind speed (u') and air density (ρ') from the 24h mean.
vm_flx Meridional mass flux (S-N) from <v'ρ'> the daily average of the product of the deviations of meridional wind speed (v') and air density (ρ') from the 24h mean.
