MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Gump Station Meteorological Data, ongoing since 2006

These data provide meteorological information measured at the GUMP research station on the north shore of Moorea island, French Polynesia. Data collection began in August 2006 and include air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, atmospheric pressure, and integrated rainfall. All sensors are sampled every 5 minutes. Post-processing of these data is limited to some unit conversion and exclusion of corrupted data records. Aggregate data are provided in daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly time bins.
ClimDB data for station GUMPM were derived from the same data source.
This material uses data collected by the U.S. National Science Foundation's (NSF) Moorea Coral Reef Long Term Ecological Research (MCR LTER) site under Grant No. OCE 2224354 (and earlier awards). Additional financial support to the MCR LTER site was provided through a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Research was completed under permits issued by the French Polynesian Government (Délégation à la Recherche) and the Haut-commissariat de la République en Polynésie Francaise (DTRT) (Protocole d'Accueil 2005-2025).
With respect to the spelling of Moorea, we followed the Raapoto transcription system that is adhered to by a large segment of the Tahitian community but also recognizes other community members follow the Te Fare Vāna’a transcription system where the island name is spelled with an ’eta (Mo’orea).
