sensortemp20240104

sensortemp20240104 is a time-stamped temperature dataset compiled from a network of environmental sensors on 2024-01-04. The name encodes the date of data capture and is used to distinguish a daily snapshot from other deployments. The dataset is part of the broader SensorTemp initiative, which records ambient temperatures at fixed monitoring sites and, in some cases, mobile sensors.

Data records typically include: timestamp (in UTC), sensor_id, temperature_c (degrees Celsius), and optional fields such as latitude and longitude, elevation, sensor_status, and a quality flag. Data are stored in a tabular format suitable for ingestion by common data analysis tools. The coverage varies by network; the file may include measurements from dozens to hundreds of sensors within the defined region.

Measurements are typically collected at regular intervals (for example every five minutes) using thermistor or RTD-based sensors equipped with data loggers and wireless transmitters. Calibration routines and post-processing adjust readings for known bias and drift. Location data is mapped to sensor identifiers to enable spatial analysis.

Quality control procedures identify outliers, gaps, and sensor failures. Missing values may be interpolated or flagged depending on the processing workflow. The dataset may include metadata describing sensor types, installation dates, and maintenance records.

Potential uses include climate monitoring, urban heat studies, and energy planning. Researchers may combine sensortemp20240104 with adjacent datasets to analyze temporal and spatial temperature patterns.
