The collection (https://research.jcu.edu.au/researchdata/default/detail/c57985fa2a3f845b9e896c6e4ef0c6c5/) consists of empirical measurements of microclimate conducted between 2006 and present in rainforest sites coinciding with long-term monitoring locations throughout the Australia Wet Tropics bioregion. Multiple aspects of microclimate were sampled during this time period, these include: ambient air temperature (~1.5 m above ground), ambient air humidity, ‘leaf wetness’ or condensation (a proxy for occult precipitation), soil surface moisture, soil surface temperature, and under-log temperature. Measurements are taken every 30 minutes (or every hour for under-log temperature) and data collected monthly to minimize error associated with potential dislodgement of data-loggers from their intended location. Data is vetted upon entry, but due to the large number of records (6.5 + million and growing) should be inspected before use. This research has been funded in full or part by the following funding agencies: Skyrail Rainforest Foundation; Earthwatch Institute; Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility (MTSRF); National Environmental Research Program (NERP); Rainforest CRC; Australian Research Council.&rft.creator=Williams, Stephen &rft.date=2012&rft.edition=18&rft.coverage=Australian Wet Tropics&rft.coverage=northlimit=-16.0; southlimit=-16.5; westlimit=145.0; eastLimit=145.5; projection=WGS84&rft_rights=Creative Commons - Attribution 4.0 International&rft_rights=This work is licensed under Creative Commons - Attribution 4.0 International.
