In-canopy air temperature measurements at Hartheim Forest Research Site (DE-Har) from 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31 [L2]

Quality controlled and gap-filled continuous air temperature data measured inside the forest canopy at Hartheim Forest Research Site (ICOS Associate Ecosystem Site DE-Har, UFR Code: HARTHM, 7.59814ºE, 47.93391ºN, 201 m) using an actively ventillated and shielded psychrometer with a PT100 resistance thermometer based on the design of Frankenberger (1951). The psychrometer is operated 2m above ground level at the base of the 30m measurement tower.

• Quality controlled in-canopy air temperature data are available and aggregated at 10min, 30min, hourly, daily, monthly and yearly resolution for the year 2024.
• Average, minimum and maximum in-canopy air temperatures are provided on hourly, daily, monthly and annual scales.
• Characteristic hours and days are reported on daily, monthly and annual scales (e.g. summer days with T_max > 25ºC, hot days with T_max > 30º, desert days with T_max > 35ºC, tropical nights with T_min > 20°, frost days with T_min < 0ºC and ice days with T_max < 0ºC, all based on 00:00 - 24:00 UTC).
• Detailed information on gap-filled data is provided.
• Note: All times are provided in UTC, not local time.

Version 1.1 changes:

• corrects an error with the time stamps. In a previous release (1.0.0) data has been processed with an incorrect time offset causing data not to be in UTC but in UTC+1. In this release, times given are all given in UTC as indicated and expected.

Version 1.2 changes:

• displays times according to ISO 8610 to unambiguously identify that all times are given in UTC. Further, the column headers for the time periods have been changed to "From" and "To" to indicate the start and end of the aggregation periods.
