Standard weather station diurnal data of the Yellow River’s Upstream (1952-2011)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

Ⅰ. Overview

This dataset contains daily meteorological data for the upper Yellow River and its surroundings from 1952 to 2011. Standard station data includes 15 elements: average pressure, maximum pressure, minimum pressure, average temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average relative humidity, minimum relative humidity, precipitation, average wind speed, maximum wind speed, maximum wind speed and direction, Maximum wind speed, maximum wind speed and direction and sunshine hours.

Ⅱ. Data processing description

The data is stored as integers, the temperature unit is (0.1 ° C) value, the precipitation unit is (0.1 mm), and it is stored as an ASCII text file.

Ⅲ. Data content description

Standard station data. All meteorological elements are stored in one text. V0100 indicates the station number, v04001 indicates the year, v04002 indicates the month, v04003 indicates the day, v10004 indicates the average pressure, v10201 indicates the maximum pressure, v10202 indicates the minimum pressure, and v12001 indicates the average temperature. v12052 indicates the highest temperature, v12053 indicates the lowest temperature, v13003 indicates the average relative humidity, v13007 indicates the minimum relative humidity, v13201 indicates the precipitation, v11002 indicates the average wind speed, v11042 maximum wind speed, v11212 indicates the maximum wind speed and direction, v11041 indicates the maximum wind speed, and v11043 indicates Extreme wind speed and direction, v14032 represents sunshine hours.

Ⅳ. Data usage description

In terms of resources and environment, meteorological data is used to simulate the regional climate change and runoff, sediment, water and soil loss and vegetation change in the basin, and it is also a necessary input condition for remote sensing inversion.
