Raw climate station data for the southern slopes of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

DOI

The climate station network was set up on the southern slopes of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, in 2010 and presents the recorded characteristics of air temperature, air humidity, and precipitation from both a plot-based and area-wide perspectives. The station set-up followed a hierarchical approach covering an elevation as well as a land-use disturbance gradient. It consisted of 52 basic stations measuring ambient air temperature and above-ground air humidity and 11 precipitation measurement sites, with recording intervals of 5 min. With respect to precipitation observations, the network extended the long-term recordings of A. Hemp which has installed and maintained up to 117 multi-month accumulating rainfall buckets in the region since 1997.
