Air temperature above water on-buoy (DP1.20046.001)

Air temperature on buoys is measured every minute and is reported as 1-minute instantaneous measurements and 30-minute mean values. Unlike other locations, such as aquatic met stations and the terrestrial tower, there is not a separate sensor for air temperature. The temperature measurements from the relative humidity sensor are used for this buoy data product and these data are a subset of the Relative Humidity of the air above lakes on buoy (DP1.20271.001). Latency: Data collected in any given month are published during the second full week of the following month.
