Luquillo Mountains meteorological and ceilometer data

This data publication contains hourly laser ceilometer data from Sabana, and hourly meteorological data collected from two weather stations in Bisley and Sabana located on the Luquillo Experimental Forest (El Yunque National Forest) in Puerto Rico. Bisley and Sabana are two watersheds in the Luquillo Experimental Forest. The ceilometer data include: minimum cloud base level, first quartile cloud base level, mean cloud base level, and cover cloud from 2013-2016. Weather data include: total precipitation, mean temperature, mean relative humidity, mean sea level pressure, mean wind speed, and mean wind direction from 2000-2016 for the Bisley station, and 2013-2016 for the Sabana Station.
The ceilometer data were collected to study the frequency of clouds immersing the relatively low-elevation Luquillo Mountains, and supporting the tropical montane cloud forests in these mountains. The weather data were collected to study the weather affecting the tropical montane cloud forest, and to compare weather patterns to cloud base altitude.
