The Mohonk Preserve is one of 14 sites recording data in the Hudson Valley as part of the <a href='http://www.uvm.edu/vmc/emma/'>Environmental Monitoring and Management Alliance (EMMA)</a>. Composed of more than 40,000 days of weather observations, these records comprise the collection of the Preserve’s Mohonk Lake Cooperative Weather Station, established in 1896 by the U.S. Weather Bureau (now the National Weather Service). Weather readings at Mohonk began in the mid-1880s, taken by the Smiley family, founders of the neighboring Mohonk Mountain House, and are now continued by Preserve research staff. Beginning in the late 1970s, data collection expanded to include regular monitoring the pH of precipitation, lakes, and streams.Mohonk Lake Cooperative Weather StationComposed of more than 40,000 days of weather observations, temperature readings, and precipitation readings these records comprise the collection of the Preserve’s Mohonk Lake Cooperative Weather Station, established in 1896 by the U.S. Weather Bureau (now the National Weather Service).VMC.1022.2294mySQL/femc/data/archive/project/EMMA-weather-data-Mohonk/dataset/mohonk-lake-cooperative-weather-station-11896-01-01SEQSequenceDay number since the beginning of data collectionintOBSDATEObservation DateObservation DatedateM/D/YYYYCREATEDATEDate of data creationDate of data creationdateM/D/YYYYMODDATEModification DateThe date the data was modified, if applicabledateM/D/YYYYMAXMaximum daily temperatureMaximum temperatrure recorded within the 24 hour obervation periodintmeter-1MINMinimum daily temperatureMinimum temperatrure recorded within the 24 hour obervation periodintmeterintegerATOBSTemperature at time of observationTemperature recorded at the time of observationintmeterintegerPRECIPPrecipitation in the last 24 hours (liquid)Amount of precipitation including rain, melted snow, etc. wihtin the 24 hour observation perioddecimalmeterrationalSNOFALLPrecipitation in the last 24 hours (solid)Amount of precipitation including snow, ice, pellets, and hail wihtin the 24 hour observation perioddecimalmeterrationalSNODEPTHSnow depth at the time of observationSnow depth (including snow, ice pellets, hail, and ice on the ground) at the time of observationintmeterwholeLAKEICELake Ice ExtentPercent of lake covered by ice-1meterwhole0100FOGFogPresence/ absence of fog on the day of observationtextMISTINGMistingWhether or not misting occurred on the day of observationtextGLAZEGlazeWhether or not glaze was present on the day of observationtextSOL_HALOSolar HaloWhether or not a solar halo was present on the day of observationtextLUN_HALOLunar HaloWhether or not a lunar halo was present on the day of observationtextTHUNDERThunderWhether or not thunder was present on the day of observationtextHAILHailWhether or not hail was present on the day of observationtextHAZEHazeWhether or not haze was present on the day of observationtextFROSTFrostWhether or not frost was present on the day of observationtextDAM_WINDDamaging WindsWhether or not damaging winds were present on the day of observationtextNOTESNotesNotestext
