SYSTEMS DETAIL NOTE: IBM-clone PC-compatible. ABSTRACT: This report provides data from a weather station near Mound, LA, on a fluvial plain at a site entitled Mud Lake. Mud Lake is located across the Mississippi River, 10 miles from Vicksburg, MS. The weather station data were collected over a 1-year period. These data are reported real-time through telemetry to the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Vicksburg. Data collection teams were sent to the site intermittently to collect soil moisture, soil strength, and other related soils data for calibration with the weather station probes and support of input requirements to FASSST-C.
