Minute-Resolution Meteorology and Soil Physics Observations from Three Indian Stations

Time series observations of meteorological and soil physics variables logged at one-minute resolution from three Land Surface Stations in India. Data was collected under the INCOMPASS Project between January 2016 and January 2019 at sites in Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh.

Use Cases

• Analyze Wind Speed and Wind Direction patterns at one-minute resolution to study monsoon dynamics.
• Model soil moisture dynamics using Soil Temperature and Soil Heat Flux measurements from agricultural and grassland sites.
• Calculate surface energy budgets using Incoming short wave radiation, Outgoing long wave radiation, and Net Radiation data.
• Correlate Rainfall events with changes in Air Temperature and Relative Humidity at high temporal resolution.

Strengths

• One-minute temporal resolution provides detailed data for process studies.
• Observations span three distinct land use types: agricultural land, university campus, and semi-natural grassland.
• Covers a three-year period from 2016 to 2019, capturing multiple monsoon seasons.

Limitations

• Limited to three geographic stations, restricting broad spatial analysis.
• Unknown sample size and data completeness for the full time series.
• Specific sensor calibration or data gap details are not provided in the input.
