Statement

Methodology:

Microclimate data was recorded at Mars Oasis. Data was automatically collected and recorded on an hourly basis. 13 climatic variables were recorded: wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, solar irradiance, relative humidity, UVA, UVB, temperature at 6 different depths.

Data collection:

Variables: wind speed, wind direction. Sensor: Young 05103. Sensor location: on mast at 3m.

Variables: air temperature, relative humidity. Sensor: Rotronic MP013A. Sensor location: on mast at 2m.

Variable: UVA. Sensor: Delta-T UV2/BP.

Variable: UVB. Sensor: Delta-T UV2/AP

Variable: pyranometer. Sensor: Skye SKS1110. Sensor location: on mast at 3m.

Data quality:

Missing values are included where data was not recorded, or where values indicating malfunctioning equipment have been removed. No extensive quality control or verification has been undertaken.

Due to the harsh conditions in Mars Oasis, data has not been recorded continually across the period. The mast was knocked over in May 2002 leading to the loss of data. The logger was restarted in November 2002. The exact locations of sensors within the soil does change over time due to environmental conditions, so depths recorded are a guide.
