Description
October 2019 to April 2025 weather station data from three experimental common garden plantations along an elevational gradient in the Colombian Andes. The dataset includes direct and diffuse radiation, precipitation, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and atmospheric visibility recorded at a 10-minute resolution. It was collected by the Environmental Information Data Centre to investigate dominant Andean tree species responses to temperature changes.
Use Cases
Modeling microclimate effects on tree growth based on high-resolution temperature and humidity data.
Analyzing precipitation and radiation patterns across an elevational gradient.
Calibrating ecological models using concurrent measurements of wind speed, direction, and atmospheric visibility.
Studying diurnal and seasonal climate variability from 10-minute interval records.
Strengths
Data spans over five years, from October 2019 to April 2025.
Recorded at a high temporal resolution of 10 minutes.
Includes measurements from three sites with contrasting mean annual temperatures (13.7, 22.1, and 25.5 degrees Celsius).
Uses Campbell Scientific CR1000X and HOBO U23-001 Pro v2 data loggers, suggesting reliable instrumentation.
