Meteorological data (1997-2018) of experimental field station in Bad Lauchstädt, Germany

The considered data set contains measurements of 4 automatic weather stations from 1997 until 2018 installed by Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ GmbH. Here, the main station corresponded to typical sensor technology and equipment of the German Meteorological Service [Deutscher Wetterdienst, DWD]. These data were quality-checked and processed as daily values. As far as possible, erroneous values were replaced by means of other stations on site. Very short failures could be supplemented by interpolation or averaging. Hence, values of measured variable can originate from different stations. However, only one value for each measured variable is provided for every day within the table. A unique label for individual weather stations is used to identify the exact origin of data.

Meteorological data of experimental field station in Bad Lauchstädt, Germany

Continuously measured weather data are of utmost importance for ecological and environmental field experiments in Bad Lauchstädt, Germany. For this reason, data were collected from different sources: i) handwritten records from weather stations at the experimental sites, ii) records from meteorological service of German Democratic Republic and iii), German Meteorological Service [Deutscher Wetterdienst, DWD]. The DWD had digitalized handwritten data before their recording started in 1991 and was therefore able to publish data going back to 1947. Historical data before 1947 are not yet published. Thus, starting in 2007 until 2018, the DWD did not operate their own weather station on site. The data of this publication intend to complete the time periods before 1947 and between 2007 and 2018 in a long-term data series. Our complete available data sets of extent weather information on site (1896-1955; 1997-2018) are presented additionally.

Historical meteorological data (1896 – 1955) of experimental field station in Bad Lauchstädt, Germany

The historical weather data from 1896 to 1955 complete the long-term series of measurements of the weather data of Bad Lauchstädt. Values are available for air temperature and precipitation as pentad values (sum values of 5 days). Unfortunately, the exact origin of the data, as well as the measurement method and the quality of the data cannot be described. The data were digitalized on basis of original records of the experimental station and documents of the Central Office of the German Meteorological Service [Deutscher Wetterdienst] (see reference Hoffmann et al.). The data were checked for plausibility, but a residual uncertainty still remains. Nevertheless, the data represent an important contribution to a complete weather description at the site of Bad Lauchstädt. With the help of these data, evaluations and modelling of long-term experiments are possible.

Time series of meteorological stations on an elevational gradient in National Park La Campana, Chile

The DFG Priority Program 1803 "EarthShape - Earth Surface Shaping by Biota” (www.earthshape.net) installed three meteorological stations at an elevational gradient in the National Park La Campana, Chile, in the sector Ocoa, within one catchment, that is one of the four EarthShape core research sites. They are located at a valley position, at the slope and the crest of the catchment. For reference, the valley station is neighbouring a weather station (Campbell Scientific) that the EarthShape project has installed earlier, in 2016 (Übernickel et al., 2020). The other two weather stations are installed on higher elevations. The weather stations are intended to provide baseline meteorological data along the elevational gradient within the La Campana catchment. Each station is configured to include sensors that record air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure as well as total solar radiation at 2 m height; precipitation at 1 m height. The data recording started in March 2019. This publication provides raw data as downloaded from the three stations, appended to one single *.xlsx file per station. The data is measured in 30 minutes intervals. The full description of the data and methods is provided in the data description file.

Time series of meteorological station data in the EarthShape study areas of in the Coastal Cordillera, Chile

The DFG Priority Program 1803 "EarthShape - Earth Surface Shaping by Biota” (www.earthshape.net, short description of the project below) installed a meteorological station network consisting of four stations between ~26 °S to ~38 °S in the Coastal Cordillera of Chile, South America. The stations are intended to provide baseline meteorological data along the climate and ecological gradient investigated in the EarthShape program. The stations are located in the EarthShape study areas, encompassing desert, semi-desert, mediterranean, and temperate climate zones. Each station is configured to include sensors that record precipitation at ground level, radiation at 2.8 m height, wind at 3 m height, 25 cm depth soil temperature, soil water content and bulk electrical conductivity, 2 m air temperature and relative humidity, and barometric pressure at 30-minute intervals. The data recording started in March/April 2016. The EarthShape project runs until December 2021. Data collection will continue until that date, and potentially longer depending on available funds. This publication provides two sets of data: raw data and processed data. The raw data contains 2 file types per meteorological station: (1) all measured parameters of the whole dataset measured in 30 minutes intervals as downloaded from the station. Furthermore, we provide (2) one table per station of high-resolution precipitation events, measured in 5 min. intervals that were triggered during rain events at each station. The processed data consists of a continuous timeseries of observations since the activation of each station. The processing consists of the exclusion of erroneous data, caused by maintenance of the weather-stations and sporadic malfunction of sensors detected during data screening. The excluded data is communicated in a logfile (excel table), comments from data screening, solar eclipse and others are summarized in history files (ASCII ). the full description of the data and methods is provided in the data description file (Data description file). ----------------------- Version history: 16 January 2023 (Version 1.1): Alexander Beer included as additional author, addition of new data from 2020-04-14 bis 2022-10-10.

PRESSurE precipitation time series, Nepal

This data set was taken within the Perturbations of Earth Surface Processes by Large Earthquakes PRESSurE Project (https://www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/section/geomorphology/projects/pressure/) of the GFZ Potsdam. This project aims to better understand the role of earthquakes on earth surface processes. Strong earthquakes cause transient perturbations of the near Earth’s surface system. These include the widespread landsliding and subsequent mass movement and the loading of rivers with sediments. In addition, rock mass is shattered during the event, forming cracks that affect rock strength and hydrological conductivity. Often overlooked in the immediate aftermath of an earthquake, these perturbations can represent a major part of the overall disaster with an impact that can last for years before restoring to background conditions. Thus, the relaxation phase is part of the seismically induced change by an earthquake and needs to be monitored in order to understand the full impact of earthquakes on the Earth system. Early June 2015, shortly after the April 2015 Mw7.9 Gorkha earthquake, 6 automatic compact weather station were installed in the upper Bhotekoshi catchment covering an area ~50km2. The weather station network is centered around the Kahule Khola catchment, a small headwater catchment and is part of a wider data acquisition strategy including hydrological monitoring, seismometers, geophones and high resolution optical (RapidEye) as well as radar imagery (TanDEM TerraSAR-X). https://www.gfz-potsdam.de/sektion/geomorphologie/projekte/pressure/
