This dataset contains daily weather observations for the top weather stations associated with focal species in the ecotourism package. Data spans from 2014 to 2024 and includes temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind measures.
Format
A tibble with 35,527 rows and 18 variables:
- ws_id
Weather station ID (e.g., "948720-99999")
- stn_lat
Latitude of the weather station
- stn_lon
Longitude of the weather station
- date
Observation date (YYYY-MM-DD)
- year
Year of observation
- month
Month of observation (1–12)
- day
Day of the month
- weekday
Day of the week (as ordered factor)
- dayofyear
Day of the year (1–366)
- temp
Average temperature (°C)
- min
Minimum temperature (°C)
- max
Maximum temperature (°C)
- dewp
Dew point temperature (°C)
- rh
Relative humidity (%)
- prcp
Precipitation (mm)
- rainy
Binary flag indicating whether PRCP > 5 mm (1 = rainy day)
- wind_speed
Average wind speed (m/s)
- max_speed
Maximum sustained wind speed (m/s)
Details
The weather data was retrieved from the Global Surface Summary of the Day (GSOD) dataset via the GSODR package for the top 3 weather stations per organism in the ecotourism project. This data supports climate-biodiversity interaction analyses.
