Abstract

To monitor meteorologic conditions on San Salvador Island throughout the duration of our well and lake instrumentation campaigns (see associated datasets), we installed an automatic weather station (AWS) at the Gerace Research Centre (GRC) located on the island's northern shore. The GRC weather station was equipped with a HOBO U30 Data Logger that recorded sensor measurements at a 15-minute sampling rate from November 2017 through October 2019. The AWS measured air temperature, and relative humidity with a Temperature/RH Smart Sensor (S-WSB-M003) installed within a solar radiation shield to prevent overheating. Rainfall was measured with a HOBO/Onset Rain Gauge Smart Sensor that using a tipping bucket mechanism mounted on a stainless steel shaft with brass bearings within aluminum housing to monitor rainfall rates up to 12.7 cm per hour. Atmospheric pressure was measured using a Barometric Pressure Smart Sensor within weatherproof housing with an accuracy of +/- 3.0 mbar, a resolution of 1.0 mbar, and a measurement range of 660-1070 mbar. Incoming shortwave solar radiation was measured with a silicon pyranometer (Solar Radiation Smart Sensor) mounted onto the weather station using the Onset Light Sensor Bracket. Data gaps due to sensor failure or proceeding sensor addition to the weather station producing null values are filled with "NaN" (i.e., not a number).
