Abstract

This dataset provides measurements of temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind, and sunlight at Ambient Weather and OttHydro stations across Baltimore city. These surface weather stations were deployed by the Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative (BSEC) Urban Integrated Field Laboratory (UIFL) project, funded by the Department of Energy (DOE). This dataset currently contains measurements from 2023 to June 2025 and will be periodically updated to include more stations and recent observations when available. Data File Information This dataset contains surface weather measurements data in comma-separated value (CSV) format and documents that describe the weather stations, locations, and measured parameters and units. data/[TIMEAVG]/[YEAR]/BSEC-[STATIONID]_[SENSORTYPE]_[TIMEAVG]_[YEAR].csv Surface weather measurements data in CSV format, where STATIONID indicates the weather station, SENSORTYPE is the type of weather station ('AWS' = Ambient Weather Station and 'OTT' = 'OttHydro Station'), TIMEAVG is time period for each entry (= daily, hourly, or 5min), and YEAR indicate the year in which the measurements were made. Example data file name: BSEC-AAC_AWS_hourly_2023.csv. documents/Station_Locations.csv This CSV file provides location information and measurement start date for each surface weather station. documents/Weather_Station_Descriptions.pdf This document provides detailed description of the instruments along with their setup and accuracy of measurement. documents/File_Contents.pdf This document describes the contents on the data files, including timemore »« less

PSU-BSEC Doppler Lidar Processed Scans

Dataset Miller, David O. ; Prince, Nicholas E. ; Ahlswede, Benjamin ; ...

This data repository includes the processed vertically staring measurements (stare files) made by the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) Doppler Lidar as a part of the Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative Urban Integrated Field Laboratory (BSEC UIFL). The PSU Doppler Lidar measures aerosol backscatter intensity (m-1 sr-1), signal-to-noise ratio, and radial velocity (i.e., vertical velocity in the case of stare files, units: m/s) at approximately 1 Hz temporal resolution and 30 m spatial resolution. Future updates will include angled scans, sky cam images, example figures, and the original .hpl files. For further information, please email Nicholas Prince, nec5299@psu.edu.
PSU-BSEC Doppler Lidar Processed Scans

Dataset Prince, Nicholas E. ; Miller, David O. ; Ahlswede, Benjamin ; ...

This data repository includes the processed vertically staring measurements (stare files) and the angled scans (profile files) necessary to calculate horizontal winds retrieved by the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) Doppler Lidar as a part of the Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative Urban Integrated Field Laboratory (BSEC UIFL). The PSU Doppler Lidar measures aerosol backscatter intensity (m-1 sr-1), signal-to-noise ratio, and radial velocity (i.e., vertical velocity in the case of stare files, units: m/s) at approximately 1 Hz temporal resolution and 30 m spatial resolution. Within the "stare_data" subdirectory there exist example figures of all retrieved data. For further information, please email Nicholasmore » Prince, nec5299@psu.edu.« less
Drought index using micrometeorological data from Embrapa weather station at Adolpho Ducke Reserve in Manaus, Brazil

Dataset Pastorello, Gilberto ; Lima, Adriano ; Meng, Lin ; ...

This dataset includes daily resolution time series data including precipitation, minimum and maximum daily air temperature, and air relative humidity downloaded from the Embrapa InfoClima portal (https://www.cnpaf.embrapa.br/infoclima/), with data for the Adolpho Ducke Reserve climatological station in Manaus, Brazil, for the period of January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016. Using this precipitation record, a Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was calculated and added to the dataset, using daily resolution for 180 day intervals and with 20 years for calibration (1980-1999) and adopting a gamma distribution. These data were applied as a proxy for analyzes of precipitation and SPI for themore »« less
