Canadian AES personnel collected data related to surface and atmospheric meteorological conditions over the BOREAS
region. This data set contains 15-minute meteorological data from 14 automated meteorology stations located across the BOREAS
region. Included in this data are parameters of date, time, mean sea level pressure, station pressure, temperature, dew point, wind
speed, resultant wind speed, resultant wind direction, peak wind, precipitation, maximum temperature in the last hour, minimum
temperature in the last hour, pressure tendency, liquid precipitation in the last hour, relative humidity, precipitation from a weighing
gauge, and snow depth. Temporally, the data cover the period of August 1993 to December 1996. The data are provided in
tabular ASCII files, and are classified as AFM-Staff data.

The BOREAS TGB-7 team measured the concentration and flux of several agricultural pesticides in air, rainwater, and dry
deposition samples in order to determine the associated yearly deposition rates. This data set contains information on the dry deposition
flux of seven herbicides [2,4- dichlorophenoxyacidic_acid (2,4-D), bromoxynil, dicamb, 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic
acid (MCPA), triallate, trifluralin, and diclop-methyl] known to appear in the atmosphere of the Canadian prairies. Also, the concentration
of three herbicides (atrazine, alachlor, and metolachlor), two groups of insecticides (lindane and breakdown products
and dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT) and breakdown products), and several polychlorinated biphenyls commonly used
in the central USA was measured. All of these chemicals are reported, in the literature, to be transported in the atmosphere. Many
have been reported to occur in boreal and arctic food chains. The sampling was carried out from 16-Jun to 13-Aug-1993 and
04-May to 20-Jul-1994 at the BOREAS site in the Prince Albert National Park (Waskesiu). The data are stored in tabular ASCII
files.

This data set, originally provided as vector polygons with attributes, has been processed by BORIS staff to provide raster files
that can be used for modeling or for comparison purposes. The original data were received as ARC/INFO coverages or as export
files from SERM. The data include information on forest parameters for the BOREAS SSA-MSA. Most of the data used for this
product were acquired by BORIS in 1993; the maps were produced from aerial photography taken as recently as 1988. The data
are stored in binary, image format files.
