Abstract

Annual half-hourly meteorology observations from a compilation of main sonic anemometer (Gill Windmaster), secondary sonic (Metek USA-1) and wind vane sensors (Vector Instruments) made at the CEH (Centre for Ecology and Hydrology) Easter Bush field site near Edinburgh, UK since 2001.

Easter Bush is located in South East Scotland, 10 km south of Edinburgh (03deg02W, 55deg52N, 190 m above sea level). The fields have been under permanent grassland management for more than 20 years with a species composition of >99% perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and < 0.5% clover (Trifolium repens). The soil type is an imperfectly drained Eutric Cambisol (FAO classification) with a pH of 5.1 (in H2O), a clay fraction of 20-26% (Clayey Loam to Sandy Loam) and a soil organic carbon content of 4% (0-10 cm depth). The grassland is grazed by cows, ewes and lambs at different stocking densities and has been cut for silage in some years. The instrumentation sits on the boundary between two fields, labelled north and south, although the fenceline runs down from the NW to SE.
