Great Basin National Park, NV air temperature and relative humidity

# Great Basin National Park, NV air temperature and relative humidity [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.bcc2fqzjm](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.bcc2fqzjm) This dataset consists of daily mean, maximum, and minimum temperatures (°C) and relative humidity (%) for 30 lascar sensors across the Great Basin National Park, NV, USA between Aug 2006 and Aug 2023. This dataset may be used to analyze temperature and humidity trends throughout the park or paired with additional datasets to assess the relationship with ecological or hydrological processes. Daily maximum, minimum, and mean temperature and humidity values throughout the park have been used to determine trends over the observation period. Sambuco et al. (2021) determined that maximum temperatures increased faster at higher elevations than lower elevations between 2007 and 2018. Warming was exhibited at nearly all locations across the park. Recent work calculates absolute humidity values to assess trends in atmospheric moisture content. Across the park, absolute humidity increased slightly. ## Description of the data and file structure The Sensor\_Information.csv provides details regarding each of the observation sites including the site name and ID, coordinates, and surroundings, and ecosystem type. It also indicates whether the sensor was mounted to a tree, rock, or post while recording the observations. This information is also available in (Sambuco et al. 2020). Temperature and humidity data are available by site ID. Each file contains the available data for the selected site between Aug 2006 and Aug 2023. The date is recorded in the "yearmonthday" column as YYYYmmdd. The elevation in meters is listed under "Alt" and the site ID is indicated under "group". The remaining columns are the daily aggregations: daily mean temperature, daily maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, daily mean relative humidity, daily maximum relative humidity, and daily minimum relative humidity. All Temperature values are in degrees Celsius (°C) and relative humidity values are percentages. ## Sharing/Access information Hourly, raw data is available upon request.

Data was derived from the following sources: * Daily mean, maximum, and minimum values were derived from the raw, hourly Lascar data. Outliers in the dataset were removed prior to aggregation. ## Code/Software For additional information regarding the processing of the data, including scripts and code, contact the authors.
