Station information:


weather variables  |  describe
ta                   air temperature
rh                  relative humidity
bar                 air pressure
ws                  wind speed
wd                 wind direction
SDR               downward shortwave radiation
SUR               upward shortwave radiation
LDR               downward longwave radiation
LUR               upward longwave radiation
ts                  surface temperature
tg                  subsurface temperature
SD                 snow depth
The num behind the weather variables is observation height (m), 'ave' is the average of weather variables, 
'min' and 'max' are the minimum and maximum of  weather variables.

All time are UTC, the loacl time zone of AWS are UTC/GMT+05:00.
