⚙️ Data Processing Features
💡 Tips for Best Results
- Start with a shorter date range (e.g., 7 days) for detailed views
- Use longer periods (months/years) to identify seasonal patterns
- The Wind Rose shows prevailing wind directions over the selected period
- The Wind Scatter plot uses colors to show directional quadrants:
- ● North (315-45°)
- ● East (45-135°)
- ● South (135-225°)
- ● West (225-315°)
- Soil temperature plots show all 5 depths simultaneously for comparison
📍 About the Data
Data Source: The data displayed represents the most recent, raw (non-quality-assured) sensor measurements served with normally just one day delay from the main climate station in the Zackenberg Valley, Northeast Greenland (74°28'N, 20°34'W).
The climate station is operated by ClimateBasis (Asiaq) as part of the GEM (Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring) programme. This interface allows you to stay informed of current and recent climate conditions in the area.
📚 Historic Data: Historic quality-assured climate data from previous years can be accessed via the GEM database: https://data.g-e-m.dk
