Description
- Meteorological data was first collected in Broom's Barn in 1963, though only data from 1982 is currently available in e-RA. Fewer variables are measured than at Rothamsted and Woburn. Most manual observations ceased in 1996, and meteorological records are now measured by a range of sensors attached to an automatic data logger.
Funding
- The e-RA database, including the published datasets generated from it, is part of the Rothamsted Long-Term Experiments - National Bioscience Research Infrastructure (RLTE-NBRI) , which also includes the Long-Term Experiments, the Sample Archive and Rothamsted's environmental monitoring activities including the weather stations and its role in the UK Environmental Change Network.
- The RLTE-NBRI is supported by the Lawes Agricultural Trust and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (Grants BBS/E/C/00005189 (2012-2017); BBS/E/C/000J0300 (2017-2022); BBS/E/RH/23NB0007 (2023-2028)).
