Five are raw data, one was generated as a course of the analysis, “weather_summary.csv”. All files are in .csv format. Details for each including the number of columns and column contents and units follow. <strong>Files and Content Descriptions</strong> <strong>BCG_weather_data.csv</strong> – 15-minute interval weather data from the Birchip Ag Group automated weather station near Curyo, Victoria, Australia for the time period of 01/10/2019 to 31/10/2019 <strong>Curyo_SPA_2019_weather.csv </strong>– 10-minute interval weather data from AgVictoria’s automated weather station at Curyo, Victoria, Australia from 22/01/2019 to 06/12/2019 recorded with Measurement Engineering Australia, Adelaide, Australia equipment <strong>Dispersal_experiment_dates.csv</strong> – Data detailing each spread event at each location including the time trap plants were put out and brought in and date assessed <strong>Horsham_SPA_2019_weather.csv</strong> – 10-minute interval weather data from AgVictoria’s automated weather station at Horsham, Victoria, Australia from 01/01/2019 to 06/12/2019 recorded with Measurement Engineering Australia, Adelaide, Australia equipment <strong>lesion_counts.csv </strong>– Data detailing lesion counts on trap plants for each location and spread event <strong>weather_summary.csv</strong>– Summary weather data detailing for each location and spread event <em><strong>BCG_weather_data.csv </strong></em>The file “BCG_weather_data.csv” contains six columns: <strong>Reading Time </strong>– the time at which the data was recorded <strong>Rainfall</strong> – the amount of rainfall (mm) <strong>Humidity</strong> – relative humidity (%) <strong>Temperature</strong> – air temperature (˚C) <strong>Wind Speed</strong> – wind speed (km/p) <strong>Wind Direction</strong> – direction in which the wind was blowing from (cardinal directions) <em><strong>Curyo_SPA_2019_weather.csv</strong></em> and H<em><strong>orsham_SPA_2019_weather.csv </strong></em>The files “Curyo_SPA_2019_weather.csv” and “Horsham_SPA_2019_weather.csv” both contain 22 columns: <strong>Time</strong> <strong>Air Temperature - average (ºC)</strong> <strong>Soil Temperature - average (ºC)</strong> <strong>Relative Humidity - average (%)</strong> <strong>Wind Speed - minimum (km/h)</strong> <strong>Wind Speed - average (km/h)</strong> <strong>Wind Speed - maximum (km/h)</strong> <strong>Wind Direction - average (º)</strong> <strong>Solar Radiation - average (W/m^2)</strong> <strong>Sigma - average (deg)</strong> <strong>Rainfall - (mm)</strong> <strong>Voltage - minimum (V)</strong> <strong>Voltage - average (V)</strong> <strong>Voltage - maximum (V)</strong> <strong>Apparent Temperature - average (ºC)</strong> <strong>Dew Point - average (ºC)</strong> <strong>Delta T - average (ºC)</strong> <em><strong>Dispersal_experiment_dates.csv </strong></em>The file “Dispersal_experiment_dates.csv” contains five columns: <strong>site </strong>– The experiment location <strong>rep </strong>– Spread event number for each location <strong>time out </strong>– date and time on which the trap plants were deployed in the paddock for the spread event (rainfall) <strong>time removed </strong>– date and time on which the trap plants were retrieved from the paddock after the spread event (rainfall) <strong>assessment date</strong>– date on which trap plants were assessed for number of lesions <em><strong>lesion_counts.csv </strong></em>The file "lesion_counts.csv” contains thirteen columns: <strong>site </strong>– The experiment location <strong>rep </strong>– Spread event number for each location <strong>distance </strong>– Distance from infection source (m) <strong>station – </strong>Trap plant units (number of trap plants at each point along transect) <strong>transect – </strong>One of ten repeating lines along which the trap plant stations were deployed in a 90˚ arc downwind of the infection source <strong>dist_stat – </strong>A concatenation of the ‘dist’ and ‘station’ columns <strong>plant_no – </strong>Total number of plants at a given station <strong>pot_no </strong>– Individually assigned pot number for each individual transect (1 – 56) <strong>counts_p1 – </strong>Lesion counts for Pot 1 <strong>counts_p2 – </strong>Lesion counts for Pot 2 <strong>counts_p3 – </strong>Lesion counts for Pot 3 <strong>counts_p4 – </strong>Lesion counts for Pot 4 <strong>counts_p5 – </strong>Lesion counts for Pot 5 <em><strong>weather_summary.csv </strong></em>The file “weather_summary.csv” contains six columns that summarise the weather conditions during each of the six spread events at three experiment plot locations. <strong>site </strong>– The experiment location <strong>rep</strong> – Spread event number for each location <strong>mws</strong> – Mean wind speed for the spread event (m/s) <strong>ws_sd </strong>– Wind speed standard deviation for the spread event <strong>mwd </strong>– Mean wind direction for the spread event (˚) <strong>sum_</strong>rain – Total precipitation during spread event including both natural rainfall and overhead sprinkler irrigation (mm)
