===Dataset Description ===
SURF_MET is a dataset from routine monitoring of surface weather parameters. Currently,
there are about 1,200 SURF_MET stations over the US recording weather data every minute.
The SURF_MET dataset is archived at the Plymouth State Weather Center and accessible to
DataFed through a web-based interface. The SURF_MET parameters include relative
humidity, wind direction and speed, as well as the light scattering coefficient, Bext, obtained
by the ASOS forward scattering visibility sensor (actually Bscat). The 1,200 station visibility
data are particularly useful for delineating the spatial-temporal extent of hazy air-masses from
dust, smoke, or anthropogenic haze events. A major limitation of this SURF_MET visibility
data is the truncation of high visibility at ten miles which precludes the detection of haze events
with greater than ten mile visibility. In this Exceptional Event Analysis report we only used the
surface wind vectors from the SURF_MET dataset.
