Gibraltar cave monitoring 2004-2011 (NERC Grant NE/D005280/1, NE/G007292/1, NE/M012689/1)

The file contain data for local meteorology , soil and cave temperatures and groundwater drip rates measured in sea Michaels and Ragged Staff caves, Gibraltar. Meteorological data were recorded at the RAF Meteorological Office located 3 km away from the cave. The locations of environmental monitoring sites are described in Mattey et al. (2010) The cave monitoring, sampling and analysis program obtained data via continuous logging. Reference. MATTEY, D.P., Fairchild, I.J., Atkinson, T.C., Latin, J.P., Ainsworth, M., Durell, R., 2010.

Statement
Seasonal variations in temperature and relative humidity in ambient air at the cave entrance, within the main chambers of the cave system and within the soil zone above the cave (temperature only) were measured by continuous logging. Temperature and humidity were measured by continuous logging using single- (temperature) and dual-channel (temperature and humidity) loggers from Gemini Data loggers deployed outside above the cave entrance tunnel, and in the Hospital, Dark Rift and Gib04a sites within the cave. Soil temperature at 50 cm depth was logged at the soil CO2 sampling site. Temperature-logging at a resolution of 0.4°C early in the project was improved to 0.1°C resolution at some sites from 2007. All temperature measurements were corrected relative to a BS certified mercury thermometer to an accuracy of ±0.05°C.
