Harvard Forest Climate Data since 1964

This dataset provides daily minimum, maximum, and mean air temperature and 24-hour precipitation data from Harvard Forest for long-term climate studies. It combines measurements from the original manual weather station (Shaler Met Station, 1964-2002, 42.53167 N, 72.18937 W, dataset HF000) with measurements from the current automated weather station (Fisher Met Station, since 2001, 42.53311 N, 72.18968 W, dataset HF001). Gaps in the Shaler data were filled using data from nearby stations. Data from a 12-month period when both stations were operational were used to adjust the Shaler data to account for differences in microclimate at the two sites. This dataset is updated annually.本数据集服务于长期气候研究，提供哈佛大学森林（Harvard Forest）的逐日最低气温、最高气温、平均气温及24小时降水量数据。数据集整合了两套观测系统的监测结果：其一为原手动气象站——Shaler气象站（Shaler Met Station，1964-2002年，坐标42.53167°N，72.18937°W，数据集编号HF000）；其二为当前运行的自动气象站——Fisher气象站（Fisher Met Station，2001年起投入使用，坐标42.53311°N，72.18968°W，数据集编号HF001）。针对Shaler气象站的观测数据空缺，本研究通过周边站点的观测数据进行填补；同时利用双站同步运行的12个月期观测数据，对Shaler数据集开展校准工作，以抵消两站点微气候差异所引入的系统误差。本数据集每年更新一次。
