Bush Cabin at UKCEH Edinburgh Bush Estate - Annual half-hourly meteorology measurements since 1988, near Edinburgh, UK
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) Bush Cabin site on the Bush Estate near Edinburgh, UK since 1998.
The Bush Cabin site on the Bush Estate is located within the institute grounds and has a long history of air pollution and meteorological monitoring. The cabin is set in approximately 2 acres of grassland with established trees to the North and East, ca 10 km south of Edinburgh (55.862281,-3.205782). The cabin was installed in the 1980s for the then Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (now UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology), with a basic measurements of total global solar radiation, rainfall, air temperature, wind direction and wind speed at ca 4 m. Initially these were not electronically recorded but in 1988 a Campbell Scientfic data logger was added to allow the automatic reading and recording of the data. Various other sensors were added over the years with the logging system being upgraded as the technology developed. In the early 2000's a taller mast was installed with the sensors at ca 8 m to reduce the influence of the mature trees surrounding the field. The site is been part of national monitoring networks, https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/interactive-map
