TPS-3100 Hotplate pluviometer

From gfi

Data for the TPS-3100 hotplate pluviometer from Yankee Inc, USA are located in

/Data/gfi/scratch/metdata/hotplace/netcdf

Data files now cover a period from 2015 to 2020. The RH sensor passed out in 2018.

There are files at native resolution for each year, and subfolders with daily data files, in the following netcdf format:
