Abstract:

This data publication contains hourly field data from the weather station at Sabana Field Station, on top of a scaffold tower in the Luquillo Experimental Forest (El Yunque National Forest), Puerto Rico collected from 2018 through 2025. The weather station collects solar radiation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), air temperature, air relative humidity, precipitation, barometric pressure, and wind (speed and direction broken down to octants with a wind rose). The weather data have been recorded at the Sabana Field station since 2001; this is the third location of the weather station. The weather station was located on the laboratory roof from 2001-2007, and a demonstrative weather station existed 2007-2018. This newer weather station’s data should not be directly compared to the previous weather stations, as it is in a different location.
