Meteorological data from the Taastrup Climate and Water Balance Station 2014-2024

The dataset contains meteorological data from the Taastrup climate and water balance station operated by the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences of Copenhagen University. The station is designed to provide data for the calculation of reference evapotranspiration according to the Penman equation, with air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and short-wave and long-wave radiation sensors installed at the height of 2 m above a grass surface equipped with soil heat flux sensors installed 5 cm below the surface. In addition, measurements of diffuse short-wave radiation, incoming ultraviolet and incoming photosynthetic active radiation are available from 2021. Solid precipitation of rain and snow is measured using weighing gauges installed at 1.5 m and 0 m. The datasets cover 2014.01.01 to 2024.12.31 and are available in daily, hourly or 10-minute time resolutions. A reference metadata file supplements each data set, providing data units, sensor type, logging intervals and quality assurance procedure
