Description:
The dataset includes QA/QC-ed meteorological drivers for Barro Colorado Island, Panama (PA-BCI). The variables include Solar radiation, Temperature, Rainfall, Relative Humidity, Wind speed and wind direction, Barometric pressure, Runoff, and Evapotranspiration.
The QA/QC process included identification, removal, and flagging of outliers; gapfilling, as well preparation of the input data file for modeling with specified time stamps [aligning of all meteorological records to the same time stamps, with 30-mins time intervals, and time expressed in the local (Eastern time) and UTC time].
The original data for this were provided by STRI (see Dataset Reference). This work derived from the STRI dataset is a modified version and not the original data and/or documentation distributed by STRI.
QA/QC:
Provisional QA-QC
Methods Description:
Outliers removal; Gapfilling using Singular Spectrum Analysis; Aggregation of time series records to 30 mins intervals.
