- Abstract
-
An automatic weatherstation was installed in 2005 at the Cape Tribulation Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTER) site to provide the baseline climate data for the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) SuperSite node. Objectives: collection of baseline weather data. Key aspects: automatic weatherstation

Automatic Weatherstation
Daily weather data (NB hourly data is available by contacting Assoc Prof Mike Liddell directly)
- Instrument
-
- Weather data collected using an automatic weatherstation (Weathermaster 2000 model, Environdata, Australia) located on site at 48m ASL near the edge of the forest, station height: 2.0m; surface type: mostly covered by grass. Rainfall was recorded using a tipping bucket rainguage (accuracy 2%, resolution 0.2 mm), temperature was recorded using a semiconductor sensor (accuracy 0.2 °C, resolution 0.1 °C), relative humidity using an electronic capacitance sensor (accuracy 4%, resolution 0.1%). Wind speed was recorded using a 3 cup anemometer (resolution 0.1 kph, threshold 1 kph), wind direction was measured using a Hall effect sensor (resolution 2°, accuracy 2°). Global incoming radiation was measured with a pyranometer using cosine correction (accuracy 3%). When sensor failure occurred gap filling was carried out where possible using data from the local Ozflux station or the nearby Bureau of Meteorology precipitation data (Cape Tribulation store) – this has been identified in the dataset. Data was stored at hourly intervals and summed or averaged to provide daily values.
