Meteorological Data from Yellowstone Lake During the Summer of 2018

We conducted a multidisciplinary geophysical experiment to study the relationship between wind, waves, bathymetry, and microseisms in Yellowstone Lake—a small, isolated body of water in which wind-driven gravity waves excite low-amplitude seismic energy at periods ~1.0 s with a regular daily pattern. During June 25 – August 4, 2018, we deployed 40 short-period seismometers, four meteorological stations, and two wave gauges in and around Yellowstone Lake. These instruments were complemented by seven permanent seismometers on the lake perimeter, and a contemporaneous deployment of ten lake bottom seismometers (LBS) on the floor of the north-central portion of the lake. The meteorological data are archived here. There are six ASCII files:
