Locally verified evaporation data from a NOAA evaporation pan at USDA Jornada Experimental Range headquarters, southern New Mexico USA, 1953-1979

This data package contains locally verified monthly total pan evaporation data from a NOAA National Weather Service station located at the USDA Jornada Experimental Range headquarters in southern New Mexico, USA. The evaporation pan measurements commenced in 1953 and ended in 1979 when the instrument was decommissioned. Pan evaporation observations were made using standard U.S. climatological service instrumentation and procedures. The included data were verified and transcribed directly from records retrieved from NOAA in ~1995 and have since undergone quality control and assurance procedures different than those in place at NOAA. These data therefore differ from those directly downloadable from NOAA servers. There is no further data from this decommissioned instrument, so this dataset is now complete and data will no longer be updated here.All observations from this weather station have also undergone NOAA QA/QC procedures and those data are available by accessing the Jornada Experimental Range, NM US GHCN station through the National Climatic Data Center portal (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datasets/GSOM/stations/GHCND:USC00294426/detail - monthly pan evaporation data are available back to 1930, but there may be data issues prior to 1953).

本数据包包含美国新墨西哥州南部美国农业部乔尔达纳实验站总部所在的国家海洋和大气管理局国家气象服务站的本地验证的月度总蒸发皿蒸发量数据。蒸发皿测量始于1953年，并于1979年仪器退役时结束。蒸发皿蒸发观测采用标准的美国气候服务仪器和程序进行。所包含的数据已通过从大约1995年获取的记录进行验证和转录，并经历了与国家海洋和大气管理局现行程序不同的质量控制与保证流程。因此，这些数据与直接从国家海洋和大气管理局服务器下载的数据存在差异。由于该退役仪器的数据已不再更新，因此本数据集现已完整，数据将不再在此更新。该气象站的所有观测数据也已通过国家海洋和大气管理局的QA/QC程序，可通过访问新墨西哥州乔尔达纳实验站NM US GHCN站点的国家气候数据中心门户（https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datasets/GSOM/stations/GHCND:USC00294426/detail）获取，其中月度蒸发皿蒸发数据可追溯至1930年，但1953年之前可能存在数据问题。
