Global analyses from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) from 1994 - present. This dataset collection follows on from the ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-15 and ERA-40) datasets with the same parameters at identical resolutions. Data is available in a number of resolutions and vertical level types. Some Monthly means and Seasonal Forecast data (1987-present) are also available.

[THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN]. This dataset contains daily automated weather station (AWS) data from the Climoor field site in Clocaenog forest, NE Wales. It runs from 12/6/1999 until 31/12/2013, and contains air temperature (mean, minimum and maximum), rainfall, net radiation, solar radiation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), wind speed and direction. The dataset has been quality checked, and incorrect or missing values removed, data has not been infilled. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/01592784-807b-453a-ac52-0478ad616484

[THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN]. This dataset contains hourly automated weather station (AWS) data from the Climoor field site in Clocaenog forest, NE Wales. It runs from 10/6/2008 until 31/12/2013, and contains air temperature, rainfall, net radiation, solar radiation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), wind speed and direction. The dataset has been quality checked, and incorrect or missing values removed, data has not been infilled.

This dataset contains data outputs generated using the Gorgon Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code, for simulations of the steady-state magnetosphere-ionosphere system during southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) with dipole tilt angles from 0-90 degrees. This data were collected as part of the NERC project Space Weather Impacts on Ground-based Systems (SWIGS). The MHD equations were solved in the magnetosphere on a regular 3-D cartesian grid of resolution 0.5 RE (Earth radii), covering a domain of dimensions (-30,90) RE in X, (-40,40) RE in Y and (-40,40) RE in Z with an inner boundary at 4 RE. In this coordinate system the Sun lies in the negative X-direction, the Z axis is aligned to the dipole in the 0 degree tilt case (where positive tilt points the north magnetic pole towards the Sun), and Y completes the right-handed set. The ionospheric variables were calculated on a separate 2-D spherical grid of dimensions 66x128 in latitude and longitude (with the north pole at 90 degrees latitude and the sun at 180 degrees longitude), coupled to the magnetospheric domain at the inner boundary. Output data is timestamped in seconds and is defined at the centre of the grid cells. The simulation data corresponding to each dipole tilt are stored in separate directories 'XXdeg', e.g. in '00deg' for a 0 degree tilt angle. The data are stored in hdf5 format. The magnetospheric variables are stored in the files 'Gorgon_[YYYYMMDD]_[XX]deg_MS_params_[XXXXX]s.hdf5' where XX is the tilt angle in degrees and XXXXX is the simulation time in seconds. The magnetospheric data includes the magnetic field ('Bvec_c'), plasma bulk velocity ('vvec') and electric current density ('jvec') after 4h of simulation, as well as the magnetic field and velocity in 5 minute intervals for the preceding 30 minutes. The dataset for each magnetospheric variable is of shape (240,160,160,3) where the first 3 dimensions are the grid indices in (X,Y,Z) indexed from negative to positive, and the final dimension is the cartesian vector components in (i,j,k). Similarly, the ionospheric data are stored as 'Gorgon_[YYYYMMDD]_[XX]deg_IS_params_[XXXXX]s.hdf5', containing the field-aligned current ('FAC') and electric potential ('phi') after 4h of simulation, as well as the potential in 5 minute intervals for the preceding 30 minutes. The dataset for each ionospheric variable is of shape (66, 128) where the first dimension is the grid index in colatitude, indexed from the north towards the south (i.e. 0 to 180 degrees), and the second dimension is the grid index in longitude, indexed from midnight towards noon via dawn (i.e. 0 to 360 degrees).

UK Met Office charts analyses pertaining to Mean Surface Level Pressure and 24 hour Weather Frontal Forecasting for the UK and Western Europe (see chart samples below). The charts have been produced by two systems at the Met Office and so are provided in two distinct datasets within this collection. The first set was delivered by the Met Office's GPCS Commercial Suite and covers the period 7th June 1999 to 24th June 2014. At this point the Met Office turned off that service and switched to providing images produced by the Met Office's SWIFT system using VisualWeather. These later data cover the period 30th June 2015 to present, though initially with some data gaps.

This dataset contains daily automated weather station (AWS) data from the Climoor field site in Clocaenog forest, North East Wales. The data are air temperature (mean, minimum and maximum), rainfall, net radiation, solar radiation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), wind speed and direction. The dataset has been quality checked, and incorrect or missing values removed, data has not been infilled. Data runs from 12/6/1999 until 30/06/2015, no data was collected March 2006 and June 2008. Air temperature, rainfall and wind speed and direction were recorded since June 1999. Measurements of relative humidity, air pressure, net and solar radiation and PAR started in June 2008. Since June 2008, data are recorded in minute intervals, averaged to hourly, then to daily means that are reported here. The Climoor field experiment intends to answer questions regarding the effects of warming and drought on ecosystem processes. The reported data are collected to monitor site specific environmental conditions and their development with time. These data are important to interpret results that are collected from the climate change manipulations imposed in the field.

Mosquito trap data from Kilombero Valley in Tanzania - a global hotspot for malaria. Since 2007, field entomologists working at Ifakara Health Institue (IHI) and at the University of Glasgow have been trapping and collecting primary malaria vectors for four villages in the Kilombero Valley: Lupiro, Kidugalo, Minepa and Sagamaganga. Trapped mosquitoes were identified to species level (Anopheles gambiae and A funestus), their sex recorded (male or female) and their abdominal status (fed or unfed) noted. When available, the daily mosquito data was consistently linked to micro climate data logger data (weather conditions on site, including averaged, minimum and maximum daytime and night time values for temperature, humidity and vapour pressure deficit). This long record allows exploring the relationship between malaria vector dynamics and related environmental conditions.

Eddy covariance (EC) observations of surface-atmosphere exchanges of sensible heat and latent heat, momentum and net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange were measured at thirty minute resolution at three Land Surface Stations in India. The dataset includes ancillary weather and soil physics observations, as well as variables describing atmospheric turbulence and the quality of the turbulent flux observations. Meteorological observations include: the net radiation and its incoming and outgoing short- and long-wave components, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and rainfall. Soil physics observations include: Soil heat fluxes, soil temperatures and soil volumetric water content. Observations were collected under the Interaction of Convective Organization and Monsoon Precipitation, Atmosphere, Surface and Sea (INCOMPASS) Project between January 2016 and January 2018.

The dataset contains time series observations of meteorological and soil physics variables logged at one minute time resolution at three Land Surface Stations in India. The three INCOMPASS Land Surface Stations were located at: (1) agricultural land in Southern Karnataka (Berambadi); (2) the University of Agricultural Sciences in Dharwad in northern Karnataka; and (3) a semi-natural grassland at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur (IITK), Uttar Pradesh. Observations were collected under the Interaction of Convective Organization and Monsoon Precipitation, Atmosphere, Surface and Sea (INCOMPASS) Project between January 2016 and January 2019.
