BOREAS READAC 15-Minute Meteorological Data from Hudson Bay

May 24 to September 20, 1994 data from a single READAC surface meteorology station in Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan, collected by Canadian Atmospheric Environment Service personnel for the BOREAS project. The dataset provides 15-minute interval measurements of multiple atmospheric parameters, though collection was non-continuous. This cross-platform dataset is managed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing short-term variability in surface air temperature and dewpoint using the 15-minute interval data.
• Studying wind patterns and precipitation events in the Hudson Bay region during the 1994 summer season.
• Correlating sky condition and visibility observations with other BOREAS project measurements for atmospheric process studies.
• Examining pressure changes, including mean sea level and station pressure, in relation to local weather systems.

Strengths

• Provides high-temporal-resolution (15-minute) measurements for detailed process studies.
• Covers a specific, well-documented summer field campaign (BOREAS) from May to September 1994.
• Includes a wide range of meteorological parameters such as temperature, wind, pressure, precipitation, and visibility.

Limitations

• Data collection was non-continuous, leading to potential gaps in the time series.
• Conflicting last updated dates exist between sources (1994-09-20 vs. 2026-03 13), suggesting metadata inconsistency.
• Specific row counts, file sizes, and detailed column names are not provided by any source.
