Description

Automatic weather station located on a weather tower on Ngeanges Island, Palau. Data include: temperature, wind speed & direction, precipitation, humidity, PAR, shortwave radiation.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

See http://www.pacioos.hawaii.edu/weather/obs-koror/#about

See http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/erddap/info/aws_crrf/index.html for “distribution_statement” and “license” metadata.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Where there are gaps in air temperature data, users are directed to the PacIOOS ERDDAP data server to access data from the nearby CRRF floating weather station on Jellyfish Lake (see buoy_* variables) whose air temperatures are highly correlated with the tower weather station.
