Abstract
Meteorological data from a high density network of meteorological sensors installed within the Birmingham conurbation: including 25 Vaisala WXT520 weather transmitters installed at sites within the Birmingham conurbation Each sensor measured temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, pressure, solar radiation and quality flags.
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)
