Ethiopie site 1 daily temperature max 1983 to 2016

README - Ethiopie site 1 daily maximum 2-metre air temperature dataset File name---------ethiopie_site_1_daily_temperature_max_1983_2016.xlsx Short description-----------------This file contains a daily time series of maximum 2-metre air temperature for the Ethiopie site 1 location. Data source-----------Source product: CHIRTS-Daily - Climate Hazards Center InfraRed Temperature with StationsGoogle Earth Engine asset: UCSB-CHG/CHIRTS/DAILYOnline source link: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/UCSB-CHG_CHIRTS_DAILYDataset producer: UCSB Climate Hazards Center / CHGNative dataset cadence: Daily; coverage: 1983-01-01 to 2016-12-31WESAT platform: https://wesat.wascal.org/Access date: 2026-09-21 Location / spatial coverage---------------------------Location label used in the file name: ethiopie_site_1Country/context: EthiopiaSpatial extraction geometry: Polygon stored in the original WESAT API response. Variable--------Workbook column: Temperature Max (K)Earth Engine/WESAT band or variant: maximum_temperatureUnit in this Excel file: KFrequency: DailyCovered period in this file: 1983-01-01 to 2016-12-31Number of records: 12,419 daily observations Aggregation / extraction status-------------------------------Daily maximum 2-metre air temperature returned by the WESAT API from CHIRTS-Daily.No additional unit conversion is applied by this exporter; values are kept exactly as returned by the WESAT JSON response. Extraction method-----------------The data were prepared from a WESAT API extraction response. WESAT uses Google Earth Engine functionality for supported geospatial datasets.WESAT platform: https://wesat.wascal.org/Reference API documentation: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/reference/rest Recommended reproducibility information to archive with this file------------------------------------------------------------------ Original WESAT JSON response: ethiopie_site_1_daily_max_temperature_1983_2016.json- Exact polygon/coordinates stored in the JSON response.- Spatial reducer, requested scale, cloud/filter settings and WESAT job identifier, if available.- Google Earth Engine collection ID: UCSB-CHG/CHIRTS/DAILY- Selected band/variant: maximum_temperature- Requested start date and end date.- Export date and operator. Quality and interpretation notes--------------------------------These values are gridded geospatial dataset outputs rather than direct ground-station observations.The Excel period and filename are derived from the first and last observations actually returned in the JSON, not from the JSON filename or only from the requested date range.The public Earth Engine CHIRTS-Daily catalog documents the native temperature bands in degrees Celsius, while this WESAT JSON response reports unit K and values around 280-310. This exporter preserves the WESAT-returned values and unit without applying another conversion.Users should retain the original API response and perform variable-specific quality checks before sensitive scientific analysis.
