Abstract
Meteorological data were collected over bare soil at a site for low-level radioactive-waste burial near Beatty, Nevada, from November 1977 to May 1980. The data include precipitation, windspeed, wind direction, incident solar radiation, reflected solar radiation, net radiation, dry- and wet-bulb air temperatures at three heights, soil temperature at five depths, and soil-heat flux at three depths. Mean relative humidity was computed for each day of the collection period for which data are available.
A discussion is presented of the study site and the instrumentation and procedures used for collecting and processing the data. Selected data from November 1977 to May 1980 are presented in tabular form. Diurnal fluctuations of selected meteorological variables for representative summer and winter periods are graphically presented. The effects on selected variables of a partial solar eclipse are also discussed
