title: Microclimate at SAFE Flux Tower

description: <b>Description: </b>Microclimate at SAFE Flux Tower above and below canopy recorded with automatic datalogger<b>Project: </b>This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: <b>Changing carbon dioxide and water budgets from deforestation and habitat modification</b><b>XML metadata: </b>GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available here<b>Files: </b>This consists of 1 file: SAFE_FluxTower_MetData_2012-2017.xlsx<b>SAFE_FluxTower_MetData_2012-2017.xlsx</b>This file contains dataset metadata and 2 data tables:<b>Above canopy data logger measurement</b> (described in worksheet data_above canopy)Description: Above canopy logger at 50 m height at the top of the flux tower. Please note: 1) The rain gauge has false zeros, and possibly some false exceptionally high values, due to it getting easily blocked by insects, seeds and bird faeces, 2) There is a significant data gap, with some intermittent records available during the daytime, between 17/2/2014-17/06/2014 due to the problems in the power supply.Number of fields: 10Number of data rows: 95653Fields: <b>TIMESTAMP</b>: Time is local time (GMT+8).

Balance of incoming and outgoing all-wave radiation (both short-wave and long-wave components). Negative values indicate that the ecosystem is an energy sink and positive values indicate that the ecosystem is an energy source to the atmosphere (Field type: numeric)<b>Rain_mm_Tot_WithFalseZeros</b>: Half-hourly rainfall sum.

Please note: 1) The initial recording interval was 60 minutes. That was changed to 30 minutes in 02/11/2012, 2) There is a data gap 30/10/2012-2/11/2012. 3) The VW_2_Avg sensor (soil water content at 10 cm) failed on 26/05/2015 and was replaced on 10/09/2015. Since then, the moisture level from that depth has given considerably higher readings.Number of fields: 13Number of data rows: 95108Fields: <b>TIMESTAMP</b>: Time is local time (GMT+8).
