[{"name":"greiser-2019-microclimate-1","title":"Temperature and relative air humidity records from near-ground microclimate loggers in the central Swedish forest 2015\u20132016","summary":"The dataset contains temperature and relative air humidity measurements from 203 microloggers that were installed near the ground across the central Swedish forest. The loggers recorded forest microclimate every third hour over 15 months.\r\n\r\nThe microclimate point data were used together with gridded environmental data on landscape physiography and vegetation (e.g. elevation, distance to waterbodies, solar radiation, forest density) to create monthly microclimate maps at 25 m resolution.\r\n\r\nSite data with coordinates, forest type, forest density, soil moisture etc., are provided along with the field protocols with information about overgrown or destroyed loggers.","citations":"Greiser, C., Meineri, E., Luoto, M., Ehrl\u00e9n, J., Hylander, K.

The loggers were placed ca 5 cm above ground in an inverted plastic cup that was taped onto a wooden stick in order to protect them from rain and direct sunlight. Loggers were brought out in May 2015, read out in September 2015, April 2016 and September 2016.\r\n\r\nAll loggers measured temperature and half of them also air humidity three times a day (ca. at 00:00, 3:00, 6:00, and so on) from June 2015 to August 2016. At some places and during some periods there were two temperature-only loggers in one cup measuring simultaneausly. The temperature measurements of the two loggers in the same pair were sometimes very different (up to several degrees). When extracting daily minimum and maximum temperatures for each site, we picked the less extreme value from the two loggers. For the daily mean temperature we averaged over both loggers.\r\n\r\nAlternative contact person for this dataset: Kristoffer Hylander, Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences, Stockholm University.\r\n\r\nThe high resolution temperature maps derived from these measurements are available as a separate dataset.","category":"Terrestrial","subcategory":"Temperature","keywords":"Microclimate; Micrometeorology; Topoclimate; Forest; iButton; Microsensor","scientist":"Caroline Greiser, Kristoffer Hylander","firstname":"Caroline","lastname":"Greiser","address":"Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences (DEEP), Stockholm University\r\n","postalcode":"SE-106 91","city":"Stockholm","province":"","country":"Sweden","parameters":"Earth science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric temperature > Surface temperature","location":"Continent > Europe > Northern Europe > Scandinavia > Sweden","progress":"Completed","language":"English","project":"This research was funded by a FORMAS project grant 2014-530, provided to Kristoffer Hylander, Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences (DEEP), Stockholm University.","publisher":"Bolin Centre Database","version":"1","constrains":"None, but please cite Greiser et al.
