Raw VLINDER data August 2020

VLINDER Network – 5-Minute Resolution Meteorological Observations (Raw) - August 2020 This dataset contains raw, 5-minute resolution surface meteorological observations collected by the VLINDER network, an urban-rural monitoring network deployed across Belgium. Full details on the network's design, instrumentation, and scientific objectives are described in Caluwaerts et al. (2020; https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-20-0051.1). Measurements are acquired using Davis Vantage Pro2 weather stations. No quality control has been applied to these data; users are advised to perform their own screening prior to scientific use. File Contents The dataset consists of two files: Observation data (CSV): Tabular records at 5-minute intervals for all VLINDER stations. From 2020-08-01 until 2020-09-01. Metadata file: Station identifiers and geographic coordinates (WGS84).
