ARGN14.WDM contains nine data series: air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (dsn 400), dewpoint temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (dsn 500), wind speed in miles per hour (dsn 300), solar radiation in Langleys (dsn 600), computed potential evapotranspiration in thousandths of an inch (dsn 200), and four flags data series for air temperature (dsn 410), dewpoint temperature (dsn 510), wind speed (dsn 310) and solar radiation (dsn 610) respectively from January 1,1948, to September 30, 2015. The primary source of the data is the Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois.

The text file "PET.TXT" contains the hourly computed potential evapotranspiration (PET) data from January 1, 1948, to September 30, 2014. This data is computed from average daily air temperature, average daily dewpoint temperature, daily unadjusted wind travel, and daily solar radiation using the Fortran program LXPET. This program is documented in detail in Murphy (2005). Reference Cited: Murphy, E.A., 2005, Comparison of potential evapotranspiration calculated by the LXPET (Lamoreux Potential Evapotranspiration) Program and by the WDMUtil (Watershed Data Management Utility) Program: US Geological Survey OpenFile Report 2005-1020, 20p., https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20051020.
The text file "Wind speed.txt" contains hourly data and associated codes from January 1, 1948, to September 30, 2014. The primary source of the data is the Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois. The codes consist of a three-digit sequence in the form "xyz" that describe the origin and transformations of the data values. They indicate if the data are original or missing, the method that was used to fill the missing periods, and any other transformations of the data. The user of the data should consult Over and others (2010) for the detailed documentation of the data codes.

This text file "Solar radiation.txt" contains hourly solar radiation data in Langleys and associated codes from January 1, 1948, to September 30, 2014. The primary source of the data is the Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois. The codes consist of a three-digit sequence in the form "xyz" that describe the origin and transformations of the data values. They indicate if the data are original or missing, the method that was used to fill the missing periods, and any other transformations of the data. Bera (2014) describes in detail an addition of a new code based on the regression analysis of the backup data series at St. Charles (STC) for water years (WY) 2008-10. The user of the data should consult Over and others...
