This dataset is part of the growing FDRI data collection, which includes a range of hydrometeorological, biogeochemical, and other environmental observations across three main catchments. FDRI offers data from newly installed infrastructure along with collated hydrological datasets and information from other organisations.

This dataset contains sub-daily (micro)meteorology measurements from available weather stations in the Upper Severn river catchment in Wales, UK. The FDRI Upper Severn catchment is ~175 km^2 above the Dolwen gauging station.

Weather station measurements include: air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, components of net radiation, wind speed and direction, precipitation, dew point temperature, albedo, and phenology images. Measurements and images are recorded at 1 minute resolution.

This work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC-UKRI) as part of the Floods and Droughts Research Infrastructure (FDRI). FDRI is a collaborative effort coordinated by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) in partnership with Imperial College, University of Bristol and the British Geological Survey.

Provenance & quality

Micrometeorology data have been recorded by weather stations installed in the Upper Severn river catchment. These datasets have been telemetered to UKCEH Wallingford where they are stored and processed following FDRI timeseries data QC procedures.
For more detail on the weather station instrumentation or data processing, please see the relevant Protocol, Maintenance and Data Processing documents provided soon.
