NOTICE: We’re in the process of migrating the NGEE-Tropics Data Archive to ESS-DIVE, the long-term data archive for BER/ESS. All public NGEE-Tropics datasets can be accessed in the new NGEE-Tropics Portal in ESS-DIVE, including after the NGEE-Tropics Data Archive is retired. Updates to NGEE-Tropics datasets should now be done via ESS-DIVE; please contact us at [email protected] if you need to edit an NGEE-Tropics dataset or if you have any questions about NGEE-Tropics datasets.

Meteorological drivers, PA-BCI site, 2008-2014, QA/QC provisional data

Author(s): Paton S; Faybishenko B; Powell T; Varadharajan C; Pastorello G; Christianson D; Agarwal D


Dataset Information

Site ID: PA-BCI

Site Name: Barro Colorado Island (BCI)

Variables: Air Temperature; Barometric pressure; Other; Precipitation (rainfall); Relative humidity; Solar Radiation; Wind speed/direction

Date Range: Jan. 1, 2008 - Dec. 31, 2014

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.

Access Level: NGEE Tropics

Originating Institution(s): LBNL
