Alpthal, Switzerland (forest station): Long-term forest meteorological data from the Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research Programme (LWF), from 1997-2016

High quality meteorological data are needed for long-term forest ecosystem research, particularly in the light of global change. The long-term data series published here comprises almost 20 years of one meteorological station in Alpthal in Switzerland which is located within a natural coniferous forest (ALB) with Norway spruce (Picea abies; 180-230 yrs) as main tree species. The meteorological time series are presented in hourly time resolution of air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and wind speed. Alpthal is part of the Long-term Forest Ecosystem research Programme (LWF) established and maintained by the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL.

全球变化背景下，长期森林生态系统研究亟需高质量气象数据。本次发布的长期数据集序列，涵盖瑞士阿尔普塔尔（Alpthal）一处气象站近20年的观测数据。该站点坐落于以欧洲云杉（Picea abies；树龄180~230年）为优势树种的天然针叶林（ALB）内。本气象时间序列包含气温、相对湿度、降水量、光合有效辐射（PAR）及风速的小时级观测数据。阿尔普塔尔站点隶属于由瑞士联邦研究机构WSL建立并维护的长期森林生态系统研究计划（Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research Programme，LWF）。更多信息请参阅「进一步详情」项下的PDF文档。
