Temperature and relative humidity data in rice paddies in diverse climates of MINCERnet

Description

MINCERnet is the monitoring network of micrometeorology in rice paddies in the world’s major rice producing regions (Yoshimoto et al., 2012, J. Agric. Meteorol., 68, 149–157). The air temperature and relative humidity above and inside the canopy were monitored using the MINCER instruments (Fukuoka et al., 2012, J. Agric. Meteorol., 68, 135–147), and the panicle temperature was calculated by the IM2PACT heat balance model. The heat-induced spikelet sterility of rice was closely related to the panicle temperature during flowering period instead of the air temperature (Yoshimoto et al., 2022, Agric., For. Meteorol., 316, 108860). This dataset of micrometeorology in rice paddies will be useful for the evaluation of crop growth and various stresses.

Steps to reproduce

Air temperature, T and humidity, RH in rice paddies were monitored with RX-350TH (As One Corp., Japan) and a force-ventilation radiation shield, MINCER (Fukuoka et al., 2012, J. Agric. Meteorol., 68, 135–147). T and RH values above the canopy (subscripted with “ab”) and inside the canopy (subscripted with “in”) were recorded during flowering period. The panicle temperature, Tp was calculated by the IM2PACT model (Yoshimot et al, 2011, J. Agric. Meteorol., 67, 233–247). The subscription with “in_C” means the values inside the canopy calculated by the IM2PACT model.
