Abstract
Data were collected by the Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research (CFARR) Meteorological Sensor from 2003 to 2007 at Sparsholt College, Hampshire. The standard meteorological measurements were made in support of all experiments at the Chilbolton Observatory. The data are automatically recorded every 10 seconds from a range of different sensors. The dataset contains measurements including temperature, dew point, pressure, wind speed and wind direction.
