Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS) meteorological data from Abbotts Hall, Essex

The meteorological data describes the air and soil temperatures, net radiation balance, down-welling photosynthetically active radiation, wind speed, wind direction and the vapour pressure deficit.

Data collection was carried out at Abbotts Hall marsh from the 15th of December 2012 till the 27th of January 2015. The Abbotts Hall site is in Essex, South East England, and the meteorological tower was situated in the middle of the marsh.

This data was collected as part of Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS): NE/J015644/1. The project was funded with support from the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (BESS) programme. BESS is a six-year programme (2011-2017) funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) as part of the UK's Living with Environmental Change (LWEC) programme.

本气象数据集涵盖空气温度、土壤温度、净辐射平衡、下行光合有效辐射（down-welling photosynthetically active radiation）、风速、风向及水汽压亏缺等要素。

数据采集时间为2012年12月15日至2015年1月27日，地点位于英国东南部埃塞克斯郡的Abbotts Hall沼泽。气象观测塔部署于该沼泽的中央区域。

该数据集是“海岸生物多样性与生态系统服务可持续性（Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability, CBESS）”项目（编号NE/J015644/1）的成果之一。该项目由“生物多样性与生态系统服务可持续性（Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability, BESS）”计划资助。BESS计划为期六年（2011-2017），由英国自然环境研究委员会（UK Natural Environment Research Council, NERC）与英国生物技术与生物科学研究委员会（Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, BBSRC）共同资助，属于英国“与环境变化共存（Living with Environmental Change, LWEC）”计划的一部分。
