    Description:
	Abstract:  Slow-response (<10 Hz sampling rate) meteorological sensors were co-located with an eddy covariance system on June 28, 2014 at the Kevin Dome BSCSP site in Montana at (48.85931111 N, 111.72166667 W) in an agricultural field.
 	to monitor variations in air temperature and pressure, relative humidity, precipitation, solar flux and wind speed and direction on a half-hourly basis.
