Hadfield Green Roof 5-year Dataset

Data collected as part of the EU funded 'Collaborative research and development of green roof system technology' project from the Sheffield, UK, green roof testbeds.

Data includes 5 years of:

- Rainfall data (1-minute resolution)

- Green roof runoff data for 9 roof configurations (1-minute resolution)

- Soil moisture content at 3 depths for 4 roof configurations (5-minute resolution)

- Climate data sufficient to calculate FAO-56 Penman-Monteith (1-hour resolution)

Due to difficulties in monitoring testbed runoff, there are occasions where runoff data is considered invalid. A separate data-file indicates individual storm events where runoff data is considered to be valid.

The data has been used to produce the following publications:
