Variable measured	Variable name: Average air humidity Variable description: Average data recorded every minute for the previous period. The average is calculated by adding the measured values and then dividing the sum by the number of observations. Variable unit: Percentage Variable URL: http://www.cen.ulaval.ca/nordicanad/infounitedonnees.aspx?id=577886 Variable name: Average air temperature Variable description: Average data recorded every minute for the previous period. The average is calculated by adding the measured values and then dividing the sum by the number of observations. Variable unit: Degree Celsius Variable URL: http://www.cen.ulaval.ca/nordicanad/infounitedonnees.aspx?id=577891 Variable name: Average ground temperature Variable description: Average data recorded every minute for the previous period. The average is calculated by adding the measured values and then dividing the sum by the number of observations. Variable unit: Degree Celsius Variable URL: http://www.cen.ulaval.ca/nordicanad/infounitedonnees.aspx?id=577892 Variable name: Average wind speed Variable description: Average data recorded every minute for the previous period. The average is calculated by adding the measured values and then dividing the sum by the number of observations. Variable unit: Meter per second Variable URL: http://www.cen.ulaval.ca/nordicanad/infounitedonnees.aspx?id=577895 Variable name: Maximum air temperature Variable description: The maximum is determined by selecting the highest value obtained during the observation of the last period. Variable unit: Degree Celsius Variable URL: http://www.cen.ulaval.ca/nordicanad/infounitedonnees.aspx?id=577889 Variable name: Maximum wind speed Variable description: The maximum is determined by selecting the highest value obtained during the observation of the last hour. Variable unit: Meter per second Variable URL: http://www.cen.ulaval.ca/nordicanad/infounitedonnees.aspx?id=577894 Variable name: Minimum air temperature Variable description: The minimum is determined by selecting the lowest value obtained during the observation of the last hour. Variable unit: Degree Celsius Variable URL: http://www.cen.ulaval.ca/nordicanad/infounitedonnees.aspx?id=577890 Variable name: Sample on wind direction Variable description: Sample took from the readings obtained during the last hour. The sample is taken on the 60 readings generated per hour. Variable unit: Degree Variable URL: http://www.cen.ulaval.ca/nordicanad/infounitedonnees.aspx?id=577893
