Abstract:

This data publication contains hourly climate data from a weather station that was located in an open area on the Hill Demonstration Forest (HF) from 2007 to 2020. The HF is located north of Durham, North Carolina and owned by North Carolina State University. Given the proximate location of HF to Umstead Research Farm (UF) (5 miles), the climate data from HF can be used to represent the climate conditions at UF (due to limited funds, there was no weather station installed at UF). UF is located north of Durham, North Carolina and is owned by North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services. Measurements include air temperature, relative humidity, dew point, solar radiation, vapour pressure as well as wind speed, gust and direction. Measuring site climate conditions (air temperature, relative humidity, dew point, wind speed, gust speed, wind direction, solar radiation, and vapour pressure deficit) will help refine the interaction between the hydrological cycle and atmospheric conditions.
