OCB DMO Note: Four worksheets were contained in the original file: Documentation, January, February,

The Documentation and Daily_PAR worksheets are reproduced in the PI note below. The locaton
range bounding box above is an estimate. No location data were reported with the PAR data files.
PI note: Irradiance data was collected over time periods of 5 seconds to 30 seconds. In two of the
worksheets (January, February), the mean, minimum, maximum, standard deviation, and number of data
points is given for each time interval.
