Weather Station Data from Northern Cameroon (June 2023 - June 2024)

Abstract This dataset contains raw and processed weather measurements from three stations located in Bamé, Djiddé, and Pintchoumba in Northern Cameroon. The data spans from June 2023 to June 2024 and includes raw measurements, quality-checked data, and data aggregated at 5-minute and daily intervals. These stations were the first three installed as part of the DeSIRA INNOVACC Project. Weather Stations Type: METER Group ATMOS41 Datalogger: METER Group ZL6 Quality Check Network: Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory (TAHMO) Installation: each station is installed at the top of a 2m mast, enclosed in a fenced area, and positioned in a location free from potential turbulence to ensure measurement accuracy. Identifiers and Coordinates Bamé: ID: z6-22047 / TA00804 Coordinates: 9.08626, 13.5786388 Elevation: 233m Djiddé: ID: z6-22888 / TA00805 Coordinates: 9.3578753, 13.6525851 Elevation: 207m Pintchoumba: ID: z6-22048 / TA00803 Coordinates: 8.4886398, 13.453611 Elevation: 359m Data Organization Each location archive contains three folders: Raw and Corrected Records: Folder named with the z6-xxxxx identifier, containing raw data and records corrected by the connectivity network ZentraCloud. May include multiple configuration files for different periods. 5-minute Aggregated Records: Folder named with the TAHMO code ending in "5min", containing quality-checked data at 5-minute intervals. Daily Aggregated Records: Folder named with the TAHMO code ending in "daily", containing quality-checked data aggregated daily. Variables All variables measured by ATMOS41 stations : atmospheric pressure (kPa), precipitation (mm), radiation (W/m2), relative humidity (-), temperature (degrees Celsius), wind direction (degrees), wind gusts (m/s), wind speed (m/s), lightning distance (km), lightning events (-), Metadata : humidity sensor temperature (degrees Celsius), logger battery percentage (-), logger reference pressure (kPa), logger temperature (degrees Celsius), tilt x axis (degrees), tilt y axis (degrees)
