ktm_clim_hourly: Hourly climate data for Kathmandu derived from ERA5-Land

In dendRoAnalyst: A Tool for Processing and Analyzing Dendrometer Data

Hourly climate data for Kathmandu derived from ERA5-Land

Description

Hourly near-surface climate data for Kathmandu, Nepal, extracted from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) ERA5-Land reanalysis. The dataset is included to demonstrate climate–dendrometer workflows in dendRoAnalyst, including joining hourly climate data with dendrometer observations, event-based analyses, and wavelet-based analyses.

Usage

ktm_clim_hourly

Format

A data frame with hourly observations and 5 variables:

TIME

Date-time stamp of the hourly observation.

temp

Air temperature in degree Celsius.

prec

Precipitation in millimetres.

VPD

Vapour pressure deficit in kPa.

RH

Relative humidity in percent.

Details

ktm_clim_hourly contains a single-location hourly climate time series for Kathmandu derived from ERA5-Land. ERA5-Land is a global land-surface reanalysis produced by replaying the land component of ERA5 at enhanced spatial resolution and is widely used for land-surface and ecohydrological applications.

This dataset is intended as an example climate input for dendRoAnalyst. It can be used, for example, with functions that join dendrometer and climate data, calculate phase-climate relations, run event analyses, or perform wavelet and wavelet-coherence analyses.

Users should check the exact temporal coverage of the object in their local installation, for example with:

range(ktm_clim_hourly$TIME)
