Abstract

This dataset contains temperature and meteorological data from a high density network of meteorological sensors installed within the Birmingham conurbation: This includes low-cost, battery-powered WiFi Aginova Sentinel Micro air temperature sensors, operated at 73 stations and 25 Vaisala WXT520 weather transmitters measuring temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, pressure, solar radiation and quality flags.

This data is the basic Comma Separated Variable (CSV) format version as supplied by the project team. Reformatted versions with inclusive metadata have superceded this data.

These measurements have been made by the Birmingham Urban Climate Laboratory (BUCL) for the HiTemp (High Density Measurements within the Urban Environment) project in order to study the Birmingham Urban Heat Island (UHI)
