Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS) meteorological data from Cartmel Sands, Morecambe

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 Cartmel Sands marsh from the 31st of May 2013 till the 26th of January 2015. The Cartmel Sands site is in Morecambe, North West 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.

本气象数据集涵盖气温（air temperature）、土壤温度（soil temperature）、净辐射平衡（net radiation balance）、下行光合有效辐射（down-welling photosynthetically active radiation）、风速（wind speed）、风向（wind direction）及水汽压亏缺（vapour pressure deficit）等观测要素。
数据采集工作于2013年5月31日至2015年1月26日期间，在英格兰西北部莫克姆的卡特梅尔桑兹沼泽（Cartmel Sands marsh）开展，气象观测塔设于该沼泽的中心区域。
本数据集为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（项目编号：NE/J015644/1）的采集成果。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计划是一项为期6年（2011-2017年）的科研项目，由英国自然环境研究理事会（UK Natural Environment Research Council, NERC）与英国生物技术与生物科学研究理事会（Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, BBSRC）联合资助，隶属于英国“适应环境变化（Living with Environmental Change, LWEC）”计划。
