Abstract

Energy and radiation balance maps of Lake Kasumigaura, a 172-km2 shallow lake in Japan, with a 90-m spatial resolution were created at a 3-hour interval over 5 years of 2008-2012 based on spatially interpolated meteorological variables and water surface temperature, with turbulent fluxes estimated by the bulk equations. The data set consists of two types: monthly time series data (excel file) and grid data covering Lake Kasumigaura (ESRI Ascii grid file). The first one is (1) Monthly mean values of spatially averaged energy and radiation balance components. The second type includes (2) 5-year mean values of energy and radiation balance components, (3) Annual mean values of energy and radiation balance components, (4) seasonal mean energy and radiation balance components averaged over 5-years, (5) 5-year mean wind speed, and (6) Seasonal mean wind speed averaged over 5-years. Details of the methods are explained in Sugita et al. (2020).

File name convention

I. Grid data (ESRI ascii format)

File name has the following format: Variable_time period-time period2.ASC

(1) Variable field
Rn: net radiation
LE: latent heat flux
H: sensible heat flux
G: flux going into water body
U: wind speed at 10 m

(2) time period field
YYYY: year (such as 2008 or 2012)
5Y: five year average from 2008-2012

(3) time period2 field
SON: Fall (Sept-Oct.-Nov) average
MAM: Spring (March-April-Mary) average
JJA: Summer (June-July-August) average
JAS: Summer (July-August-Sept.) average
DJF: Winter (Dec-Jan-Feb) average 

II. Time series data (Excel file)

Only one file (MonthlyEnergyRadiationData_2008-12_monthly.xlsx) excists. 

The excel file contains seven sheets with the following name format: Variable_tume period_time step
(1) Variable field
Rlu: downward longwave radiation
Rsd: downward shortwave radiation
G: flux going into lake water body
LE: latent heat flux
H: sensible heat flux
Rn: net radiation

(2) period field (fixed)
2008-2012

(3) time step field (fixed)
monthly

In each sheet, data are given in the following format
Date (YYYY/MM/DD), Monthly meant (W/m2), Number of data used to derive spatial means, Standard deviation (W/m2).

DD of the data field is fixed as "15". 

Additional Metadata

Name Value
G Flux going into lake water body (W/m2)
H Sensible heat flux
U Mean wind speed at 10 m (m/s)
LE Latent heat flux (W/m2)
Rn Net radiation (W/m2)
