Shortgrass Steppe site, station Meteorological Station 11, study of air temperature (mean minimum) in units of celsius on a monthly timescale

The EcoTrends project was established in 2004 by Dr. Debra Peters
(Jornada Basin LTER, USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range) and
Dr. Ariel Lugo (Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest)
to support the collection and analysis of long-term ecological datasets.
The project is a large synthesis effort focused on improving the accessibility
and use of long-term data. At present, there are ~50 state and federally funded
research sites that are participating and contributing to the EcoTrends project,
including all 26 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and sites funded by
the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), USDA Forest Service,
US Department of Energy, US Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous universities. Data from the EcoTrends project are available through an exploratory web portal
(http://www.ecotrends.info). This web portal enables the continuation of data
compilation and accessibility by users through an interactive web application.
Ongoing data compilation is updated through both manual and automatic
processing as part of the LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking
Architecture (PASTA). The web portal is a collaboration between the Jornada LTER
and the LTER Network Office. The following dataset from Shortgrass Steppe (SGS)
contains air temperature (mean minimum) measurements in celsius units
and were aggregated to a monthly timescale.

EcoTrends项目由德布拉·彼得斯博士（乔纳达盆地长期生态研究网[Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER]，美国农业部农业研究局[USDA-ARS]乔纳达实验牧场）与阿里尔·卢戈博士（卢奎洛长期生态研究网[Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER]，美国农业部林业局[USDA Forest Service]卢奎洛实验森林）于2004年创立，旨在支持长期生态数据集的收集与分析工作。本项目为一项大型综合研究工作，核心目标是提升长期生态数据的可获取性与复用率。目前，共有约50个州立及联邦资助的研究站点参与并为EcoTrends项目贡献数据，其中涵盖全部26个长期生态研究（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER）站点，以及美国农业部农业研究局（ARS）、美国农业部林业局、美国能源部、美国地质调查局（USGS）与众多高校资助的研究站点。EcoTrends项目的数据集可通过探索性网络门户（http://www.ecotrends.info）获取。该门户依托交互式Web应用程序，支持用户持续开展数据汇编与数据获取工作。作为长期生态研究网溯源感知综合跟踪架构（Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture, PASTA）的组成部分，持续推进的数据汇编工作通过手动与自动两种处理方式完成更新。本网络门户由乔纳达LTER与LTER网络办公室联合开发。本次提供的短草草原（Shortgrass Steppe, SGS）数据集包含以摄氏度为单位的日均最低气温实测数据，且已按月度时间尺度进行聚合。
