Global analyses from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) from 1994 - present. This dataset collection follows on from the ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-15 and ERA-40) datasets with the same parameters at identical resolutions. Data is available in a number of resolutions and vertical level types. Some Monthly means and Seasonal Forecast data (1987-present) are also available.

This dataset contains data outputs generated using the Gorgon Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code, for simulations of the steady-state magnetosphere-ionosphere system during southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) with dipole tilt angles from 0-90 degrees. This data were collected as part of the NERC project Space Weather Impacts on Ground-based Systems (SWIGS). The MHD equations were solved in the magnetosphere on a regular 3-D cartesian grid of resolution 0.5 RE (Earth radii), covering a domain of dimensions (-30,90) RE in X, (-40,40) RE in Y and (-40,40) RE in Z with an inner boundary at 4 RE. In this coordinate system the Sun lies in the negative X-direction, the Z axis is aligned to the dipole in the 0 degree tilt case (where positive tilt points the north magnetic pole towards the Sun), and Y completes the right-handed set. The ionospheric variables were calculated on a separate 2-D spherical grid of dimensions 66x128 in latitude and longitude (with the north pole at 90 degrees latitude and the sun at 180 degrees longitude), coupled to the magnetospheric domain at the inner boundary. Output data is timestamped in seconds and is defined at the centre of the grid cells. The simulation data corresponding to each dipole tilt are stored in separate directories 'XXdeg', e.g. in '00deg' for a 0 degree tilt angle. The data are stored in hdf5 format. The magnetospheric variables are stored in the files 'Gorgon_[YYYYMMDD]_[XX]deg_MS_params_[XXXXX]s.hdf5' where XX is the tilt angle in degrees and XXXXX is the simulation time in seconds. The magnetospheric data includes the magnetic field ('Bvec_c'), plasma bulk velocity ('vvec') and electric current density ('jvec') after 4h of simulation, as well as the magnetic field and velocity in 5 minute intervals for the preceding 30 minutes. The dataset for each magnetospheric variable is of shape (240,160,160,3) where the first 3 dimensions are the grid indices in (X,Y,Z) indexed from negative to positive, and the final dimension is the cartesian vector components in (i,j,k). Similarly, the ionospheric data are stored as 'Gorgon_[YYYYMMDD]_[XX]deg_IS_params_[XXXXX]s.hdf5', containing the field-aligned current ('FAC') and electric potential ('phi') after 4h of simulation, as well as the potential in 5 minute intervals for the preceding 30 minutes. The dataset for each ionospheric variable is of shape (66, 128) where the first dimension is the grid index in colatitude, indexed from the north towards the south (i.e. 0 to 180 degrees), and the second dimension is the grid index in longitude, indexed from midnight towards noon via dawn (i.e. 0 to 360 degrees).

[THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN]. This dataset contains hourly automated weather station (AWS) data from the Climoor field site in Clocaenog forest, NE Wales. It runs from 10/6/2008 until 31/12/2013, and contains air temperature, rainfall, net radiation, solar radiation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), wind speed and direction. The dataset has been quality checked, and incorrect or missing values removed, data has not been infilled.

[THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN]. This dataset contains daily automated weather station (AWS) data from the Climoor field site in Clocaenog forest, NE Wales. It runs from 12/6/1999 until 31/12/2013, and contains air temperature (mean, minimum and maximum), rainfall, net radiation, solar radiation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), wind speed and direction. The dataset has been quality checked, and incorrect or missing values removed, data has not been infilled. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/01592784-807b-453a-ac52-0478ad616484

Regular temperature, rainfall and other weather data, as collected between February 1999 and September 2002 from an on-site Automatic Weather Station, located on experimental plots at Sourhope, Scotland. Data were collected as part of the NERC Soil Biodiversity Thematic Programme, which was established in 1999 and was centred upon the intensive study of a large field experiment located at the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute (now the James Hutton Institute) farm at Sourhope in the Scottish Borders (Grid reference: NT 8545 1963). During this time, the site was monitored to assess changes in above-ground biomass production (productivity), species composition and relative abundance (diversity).

This dataset combines daily automated weather station (AWS) from the Climoor field site in Clocaenog forest, North East Wales The data are on relative humidity (percent), air temperature (degrees Celsius), rainfall (millimetres), air pressure (millibars), net radiation (millivolts), solar radiation (Kilowatts per square metre per second), photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), (micromol per square metre per second), wind speed (metres per second) and wind direction (degrees). These data are an extension for the Daily automated weather station dataset (1998-2015) for the time period July 2015 to August 2016. Data were not collected between 9th October 2015 and 3rd November 2015 due to problems with the sensors. Data are recorded in minute intervals. Up to January 2016 the data were averaged hourly, after January 2016 data were averaged half hourly. Data are then to averaged to daily values, which are reported here. Data collection, processing and quality checking was carried out by members of CEH Bangor staff. The Climoor field experiment intends to answer questions regarding the effects of warming and drought on ecosystem processes. The reported data are collected to monitor site specific environmental conditions and their development with time. These data are important to interpret results that are collected from the climate change manipulations imposed in the field.

UK Met Office charts analyses pertaining to Mean Surface Level Pressure and 24 hour Weather Frontal Forecasting for the UK and Western Europe (see chart samples below). The charts have been produced by two systems at the Met Office and so are provided in two distinct datasets within this collection. The first set was delivered by the Met Office's GPCS Commercial Suite and covers the period 7th June 1999 to 24th June 2014. At this point the Met Office turned off that service and switched to providing images produced by the Met Office's SWIFT system using VisualWeather. These later data cover the period 30th June 2015 to present, though initially with some data gaps.

The dataset provides transcripts from focus groups in Salima, Mangochi and Zomba (Malawi). The focus groups' discussions focused on important monthly agricultural activities in association with the climate services and extreme weather events. This outlined how climatic factors affected agricultural decision-making. The data were produced as part of NERC Program Science for Humanitarian Emergencies and Resilience (SHEAR). Grant reference - Improving Preparedness to Agro-Climatic Extremes in Malawi (IPACE-Malawi).

The dataset contains time series observations of turbulent surface-atmosphere exchanges of sensible heat (H) and momentum (τ) measured at an area of ancient broadleaved deciduous forest in Oxfordshire, UK (Wytham Woods). Turbulent flux densities were monitored from the top of a forest tower using the micrometeorological eddy covariance (EC) technique between 2014-06-13 13:00 and 2016-01-04 22:00. The dataset includes ancillary weather and soil physics observations, as well as variables describing atmospheric turbulence and the quality of the turbulent flux observations. Data were collected by staff from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Wallingford. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/9b9ae2fe-e545-4209-b35f-e2ef6231dfe6
