Description

This dataset contains several meteorological variables recorded between June 2012 and January 2025 employing a meteorological station located in an urban environment. This station was deployed within the Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora's Nainari campus. However, due to station malfunction and the confinement caused by COVID19, some long periods with lack of data are observed. The observed variables include air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, photosynthetically active radiation, solar radiation, wind speed, wind direction and precipitation.

Steps to reproduce

Meteorological variables were measured and collected by installing a urban monitoring station consisting of the following sensors: A Campbell HMP45C temperature and relative humidity probe, a Vaisala CS-105 barometric pressure sensor, a Licor LI190SB Quantum photon sensor, an A3001 anemometer with wind vane to measure wind velocity and direction, a TE525MM rain gauge to measure rainfall, and both a SP2-Lite and a CMP10 pyranometers to measure solar incoming radiation. All variables, except rainfall were averaged within a period of 30-minutes while precipitation was totalized within the same period. The collected data were stored in a Campbell CR100 datalogger.
