Description: In-situ measurements of temperature, pressure, relative humidity, rain and wind by a Davis Vantage Pro2 weather station named "Davis-008" at Platform zero, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The station is placed on a flat roof, at Galileistraat 33, 3029 AM Rotterdam, at a height of approx. 10 meters.


Format: Each NetCDF file covers a full month of observations. The temporal resolution is 1 minute. Data are provided "as is", without any post-processing. The NetCDF files contain all relevant information about all the variables, attributes and units. The global attributes of the NetCDF files contain important information about the type of sensor, logging software, project contributors and history of the dataset. If a monthly file is missing, no data are available for this month.


Relevance: Weather station data provide useful information about local variations in temperature, humidity, wind and precipitation up to a few hundred meters around the observation site. Collecting good weather data in urban environments is challenging but crucial for understanding and managing the unique micro-climates created by dense buildings, infrastructure, and human activities. This data can be used for scientific purposes, to support urban planning, public health, and climate adaptation strategies. The Rotterdam Atmospheric Measurement Network RAMN was established with the help of TU Delft strategic funds, in collaboration with the Ruisdael Observatory.


Note: data collection started on July 8, 2024. This dataset will be updated approximately every 3 months. Please reach out to the authors if you wish to access the most recent data.


Known Issues: There are no known issues associated with this dataset.
