Platform data

Overview

Detailed view

Climate data measuered by automatic Thies weather station of the working group B2. 
Windspeed and winddirection were measured 1m above and 1m below forest canopy.

The data are quality checked by a standardised method.

Climate Parameter Quality Check for Cajanuma Forest
Checking modules:

1. Does a value exist?
Quality flag is set to 
"d = missing"

2. Checking of site specific threshold value.
If the value is not inbetween the thresholds the quality flag is set to "c = out of range":
Windspeed 8m max = 15
windspeed 2m max = 4
Rad Max = 500
graddown max = 50
Air temperature in 2m max = 20
Air temperature in 2m min = 0
Air temperature in 30cm max = 20
Air temperature in 30cm min = 0
Air humidity in 2m max = 100
Air humidity in 2m min = 10
Air humidity in 30cm max = 100
Air humidity in 30cm min = 10



3. Wind direction and soil moistures are not quality checked and flag is set to "nqc = not quality checked"

4. Soil moisture is not quality checked

All other values are set to "a = valid".

Climate Parameter Quality Check for site Bombuscaro
Checking modules:

1. Does a value exist?
Quality flag is set to 
"d = missing"

2. Checking of site specific threshold value.
If the value is not inbetween the thresholds the quality flag is set to "c = out of range":
Windspeed max = 10
Global Radiation max = 1400
Globar Radiation max Down = 250
Soil temperature in 10cm depth max = 40
Soil temperature in 10cm depth min = 15
Soil temperature in 60cm depth max = 25
Soil temperature in 60cm depth min = 15
Air temperature in 2m max = 35
Air temperature in 2m min = 5
Air humidity max = 100
Air humidity min = 10

3. Checking the plausibility of air temperature and air humidity within the measurement intervals by comparing the previous and current values.
If the temperature amplitude is higher then 10°C and humidity amplitude is higher than 30% the plausibility of this variation is checked by comparing to the variation of the other parameter.  
The quality flag is set to "e = variation implausible".

4. Precipitation check
If precipitation is more than 40 mm then quality flag is set to "c = out of range"
If precipitation is more than 15 mm and air temperature increases more than 0.2 °C inbetween a temporal interval then quality flag is set to "e = variation impossible".

5. Relative air humidity values are corrected by a standarized method and quality flag is set to "m = manually corrected".

6. Wind direction is not quality checked and flag is set to "nqc = not quality checked"

All other values are set to "a = valid".

Global Radiation max = 1600
Global Radiation max down = 250
Air temperature in 2m max = 30
Air temperature in 2m min = 5
Air humidity max = 100
Air humidity min = 10

The quality flag is set to "e = variation implausible".

4. Precipitation check
If precipitation is more than 25 mm then quality flag is set to "c = out of range"
If precipitation is more than 15 mm and air temperature increases more than 0.2 °C inbetween a temporal interval then quality flag is set to "e = variation impossible".

Ongoing data collected from Bombuscaro Thies climate station.

Raw data, initial visual control only. Use data with great care, errors might be included.

Ongoing data collected from ECSF Thies climate station.

Ongoing data collected from El Tiro Thies climate station.

Raw data, initial visual control only. Use data with great care, errors might be included. Wind speed and wind direction sensors are broken!

Ongoing data collected from Gegenhang Thies climate station.

Raw data, initial visual control only. Use data with great care, errors might be included.

Ongoing data collected from Zamora pastos Thies climate station.
This is a new station at the place where one of David Windhorst stations should have been, which doesn't work there. So its a new core plot ~1000 m a.s.l., pasture.
The stations technic itself is the old Thies station, which was deconstructed on the pasture at ECSF called "Gegenhang", which is no longer there.
