Measurement details about Palmdale.A variables

Air temperature: Daily max/min measured at 1.5 m (4.92 ft).
Precipitation: Daily total measured in a 20 cm (8 in) diameter gauge.
Soil temperature: Daily max/min measured at a 15 cm (6 in) depth.
Humidity: Daily max/min measured at 1.5 m (4.92 ft).
Evapotranspiration: Calculated from CIMIS hourly values.

Comments: Station is located in an established turf area, surrounded on 3 sides by alfalfa fields. The turf is well maintained and sprinkler irrigated by the cooperator. However, sprinkler irrigation from the alfalfa fields can accumulate in the rain gauge and be reported as precip. Until corrected, precip will not be reported.
