Canopy temperatures from a moist semi-deciduous tropical forest, Bobiri Forest Reserve, Ghana, 2022-2023

[This dataset is embargoed until April 30, 2026]. The dataset provides raw infrared temperature data from a thermal camera positioned on a tower at Bobiri Forest Reserve, Ghana between November 2022 and November 2023. The variable recorded is surface temperature, predominately of tree canopies (leaves, branches, stems). This site is a moist semi-deciduous tropical forest. The field of view of the camera includes a plot which was lightly selectively logged over 60 years ago. The trees included in the field of view are of a variety of species including both deciduous and evergreen species. Data were collected in order to assess the differences between species in their canopy temperature and for greater understanding of plant temperature regulation.
