Tindongo daily 2m temperature max from 1981 to 2026

README - Tindongo daily maximum 2m temperature dataset File name---------tindongo_daily_2m_temperature_max_1981_2026.xlsx Short description-----------------This file contains a daily time series of daily maximum 2-metre air temperature for the Tindongo location. Data source-----------Source product: ERA5-Land Daily Aggregated - ECMWF Climate ReanalysisGoogle Earth Engine asset: ECMWF/ERA5_LAND/DAILY_AGGROnline source link: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/ECMWF_ERA5_LAND_DAILY_AGGRDataset citation/DOI: Muñoz Sabater, J. (2019), ERA5-Land, Copernicus Climate Change Service Climate Data Store, https://doi.org/10.24381/cds.68d2bb30Access date: 2026-09-14 Location / spatial coverage---------------------------Location label used in the file name: TindongoCountry/context: West Africa / Ghana area, as used in the project context. Variable--------Workbook column: Temperature 2m Max (K)Earth Engine band: temperature_2m_maxUnit in this Excel file: Kelvin (K)Frequency: DailyCovered period in this file: 1981-01-01 to 2026-09-06Number of records: 16,685 daily observations Aggregation / extraction status-------------------------------Daily maximum of the hourly 2m air temperature values for each day, as provided by the ERA5-Land Daily Aggregated product.No unit conversion was applied in the Excel file; values are kept in Kelvin. Extraction method-----------------The data were prepared from Google Earth Engine, most likely through WASCAL Easy Satellite Data Access and Analysis Tool (WESAT) (https://wesat.wascal.org) wrapping the Google Earth Engine API.Reference API documentation: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/reference/rest Recommended reproducibility information to archive with this file------------------------------------------------------------------ WASCAL Easy Satellite Data Access and Analysis Tool (WESAT) (https://wesat.wascal.org) job identifier or extraction script, if available.- Exact Tindongo coordinates or boundary used for extraction.- Spatial reducer used by WASCAL Easy Satellite Data Access and Analysis Tool (WESAT) (https://wesat.wascal.org)/GEE, for example point sampling or mean over an area.- Google Earth Engine collection ID: ECMWF/ERA5_LAND/DAILY_AGGR- Selected band: temperature_2m_max- Start date and end date.- Export date and operator. Quality and interpretation notes--------------------------------The data are daily aggregated reanalysis values, not direct ground-station observations.ERA5-Land is a reanalysis product, combining model data and observations to provide spatially complete climate fields. Values represent the ERA5-Land grid cell or spatial aggregation used during extraction, depending on the WASCAL Easy Satellite Data Access and Analysis Tool (WESAT) (https://wesat.wascal.org)/GEE configuration.For precipitation, small numerical artefacts can occur in accumulated variables in ERA5-Land daily products; users should apply quality checks before sensitive hydrological analysis.
