LOCATION.--Lat 47×14'32", long 99×14'02", in SE1/4SW1/4SW1/4 sec.12, T.142 N., R.68 W., Stutsman County, Hydrologic Unit 10160002, at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center, at Woodworth Experiment Station 2.8 mi east and 1 mi south of Woodworth.
INSTRUMENTATION.--The composite sample collector is an Aerochem Metrics1 model 301 wet/dry precipitation collector mounted on ground surface. Precipitation quantity is determined by a Belfort1 model 5-780 recording rain gage equipped with an event recorder and an Alter-type wind screen. The recording rain gage is installed 17 ft east of the sample collector with gage mouth and collector bucket elevations of 50.75 in above land surface.
REMARKS.--The station is located 300 ft west of an event sample-collection station which was operated by the North Dakota State Health Department (station discontinued 1987). Continuously recording meteorological instrumentation for air temperature, wind speed, and wind direction were installed 9.8 ft above land surface at the event station. Data presented are provisional analyses by the Central Analytical Laboratory of the Illinois State Water Survey and have not completed quality-assurance review by the National Atmospheric Deposition Program. Analyses are determined from water taken from the sample collector.
