This data publication contains 1 hour values for field data from the weather station at Sabana Field Station, on top of a scaffold tower in the Luquillo Experimental Forest (El Yunque National Forest), Puerto Rico collected from 2018 through 2020. The weather station collects solar radiation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), air temperature, air relative humidity, precipitation, barometric pressure, and wind (speed and direction broken down to octants with a wind rose). The weather data have been recorded at the Sabana Field station since 2001; this is the third location of the weather station. The weather station was located on the laboratory roof from 2001-2007, and a demonstrative weather station existed 2007-2018. This newer weather station’s data should not be directly compared to the previous weather stations, as it is in a different location.

本数据出版物收录了2018年至2020年间，采集自波多黎各卢奎略实验林（埃尔云克国家森林）内支架塔上的萨巴纳野外台站气象站的逐小时野外实测气象数据。该气象站的观测指标包括太阳辐射、光合有效辐射（Photosynthetically Active Radiation, PAR）、空气温度、空气相对湿度、降水量、气压，以及风速和风向（风向按8方位风玫瑰图进行细分记录）。

萨巴纳野外台站自2001年起便开展气象数据记录工作，本次收录的气象站为该台站的第三处观测点位：2001年至2007年，气象站设于实验室屋顶；2007年至2018年期间，台站曾设有示范性气象站。由于本次布设的新型气象站与此前两处观测点位所处位置不同，其观测数据不可与历史气象站数据直接进行比对。
