                             Primary channel used in JASL set:
                             2010-4/2012: RAD
                             4/2012-2017: RA2

              Present Data : Hourly, daily, and monthly values obtained by:
                    Hourly : 3-point Hanning Filter centered on the hour
                    Daily  : 119-point convolution filter (Bloomfield, 1976)    
                             centered on noon applied to the hourly data        
                             with respective periods of the 95, 50, and 5%      
                             amplitude points at 124.0, 60.2, and 40.2 hours    
                    Monthly: Simple average of all daily values; calculated if  
                             7 or fewer days are missing

                             This reference zero is unique to this station and
                             is not an official datum (chart, national, etc.)
