- Statement
- Prior to 2008, daily data was recorded on loggers at the field site, and manually downloaded into the project files on the CEH Bangor server by project staff. After 2008, hourly data was transferred from loggers at the field site onto CEH Bangor's server via a remote telemetry system. Each morning, the previous days data was transferred via telemetry. An automated script transferred the data into the project shared area of the shared network drive. Data quality checking was done on a regular basis by an experienced member of the team who has worked at the field site and on data from the Clocaenog site for 14 years. Data was visually inspected using basic graphing tools, and erroneous values were removed, taking into account the weather at the site during the period in question. Data processing steps included using a macro to combine data from individual 24 hour periods into larger timed periods (post-2008), then data was cut/pasted into raw data files. Data here is collated raw data, and has only had erroneous values removed followed by basic average or summing (in the case of rainfall) calculations being carried out. The following measures were taken with sensors from Campbell Scientific: relative humidity and air temperature are recorded with an HMP45C sensor. Rainfall sums are measured with an ARG100 Tipping bucket, air pressure is measured with a CS100 Barometer and net radiation is measured with an NR-Lites sensor. Further, Solar radiation and PAR are measured using a Skye SP1110 pyranometer and a SKP215 quantum sensor from Skye Instruments. Wind direction and speed are recorded using a windsonic 2D Ultrasonic Anemometer from Windsonic.
