Abstract

Three datasets of microclimate temperature. Dataset 1, obtained between 7th April and 10th July 2020 over several short intervals in Cornwall, UK (50.1739°N, 5.1042°W), was used to quantify errors yielded by different logger types close to the ground in an open grassland. Dataset 2, obtained between 1st May and 10th July 2020 in Leuven, Belgium (50.8217°N, 4.7336°E), was used to quantify errors different logger and shield types over several months, in both open grassland and closed-canopy mixed forest and at different heights above ground. Dataset 3, obtained between 22nd December 2017 and 2nd August 2020 in Gontrode, Belgium (50.9803°N, 3.8160°E) was used to determine whether consumer-grade sensors and radiation shields can be used in place of a weather station.
