Data Dictionary for VIMS Ambient Monitoring Data

   The following is the list of parameters which are measured at the VIMS 
Campus at Gloucester Point, VA.   Each six-minute data value is calculated
from observations accumulated at 15 sec. intervals (n=24).

Summaries for wind speed and direction are vector averages for the
time period specified.
