United States Climate Reference Network (USCRN) Raw Data from Satellite

USCRN Raw Data is level 0 data received from the USCRN stations that are transmitted continuously. The data values are ingested with a unique 18-bit format due to satellite transmission limitations (documentation will be archived along with data); code will be provided to read the bit format and parse out values for a stream. As of 2012, there are 19 possible stream format versions over the history of the USCRN network; format versions are dependent on hardware/software upgrades to the USCRN network and may increase over time.
