Detailed air temperature measurements recorded across the Willoughby Local Government Area during the summer of 2023/24

Air temperature in complex urban terrain can vary. A large proportion of this variation originates from differences in thermal characteristics of materials that together make up the terrain. While roads and buildings can lead to higher temperatures in urban landscapes, trees and other green urban infrastructure can provide cooling. Hence, depending on the type, make and proportion of urban infrastructure (e.g. grey, green, blue), air temperatures will vary.
During the summer of 2023-2024, a total of 120 air temperature sensors recorded data every 10 minutes between 2 December 2023 and 29 February 2024 in and around the Local Government Area (LGA) of Willoughby. This generated over a million of individual measurements across the entire LGA. All sensors were installed on trees, 2.5 - 3.0 m above the ground.
The associated research report includes detailed methodology, analysis of results, and the heat maps generated for the LGA, as well as conclusions and recommendations
This dataset contains data from Stream 1 as .xlsx file: description of the data (spreadsheet 1) and air temperatures recorded in 100 locations across the LGA (spreadsheet 2). The spreadsheet 2 was also provided as csv file.
This dataset provides measurement locations, physical address, geographic location, species name, height and canopy density of trees at each location (n = 100). Where available, temperature data represent mean and absolute maximum and minimum values measured at each location.
Data Note: Tair (°C) = air temperature measured in degrees Celsius, and the time and date are in Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT).

复杂城市地形中的气温存在差异。这种差异在很大程度上源于构成地形的各类材料热特性的不同。道路与建筑可能导致城市区域气温升高，而树木及其他绿色城市基础设施则能发挥降温作用。因此，城市基础设施（如灰色、绿色、蓝色基础设施）的类型、构造及占比不同，气温也会随之变化。

2023-2024年夏季期间，共计120个气温传感器于2023年12月2日至2024年2月29日期间，在威洛比地方政府区域（Local Government Area，LGA）及其周边每10分钟记录一次数据。这在整个LGA区域内生成了超过一百万条独立测量记录。所有传感器均安装于树上，高度为地面以上2.5至3.0米。

相关研究报告包含详细的方法论、结果分析、为该LGA区域生成的热图，以及结论与建议。

本数据集包含Stream 1的数据，以.xlsx文件形式呈现：包含数据描述（表格1）及LGA区域内100个位置的气温记录（表格2）。表格2同时提供.csv格式文件。

本数据集提供了100个位置的测量点信息，包括实际地址、地理位置、树种名称、树高及冠层密度。若数据可用，气温数据包含各位置测量得到的均值、绝对最大值与最小值。

数据说明：Tair（°C）指以摄氏度为单位测量的气温，日期与时间采用澳大利亚东部夏令时（Australian Eastern Daylight Time，AEDT）。
