Brunei Darussalam rainforest temperature and light intensity data recorded in 2017.

ABSTRACT: Air temperature and light intensity in the tropical rainforest of Brunei Darussalam was recorded at a 20-min interval from 2011 to 2017. Five units of the HOBO Pendant® data loggers were attached to tree trunks within a circle of 5 m radius at 2 m above the ground. Approximately once a year, data were downloaded, and the sensors serviced. The test site is in a peat swamp forest classified as a mixed dipterocarp forest. The redundancy of the sensors allows for the assessment of the relative precision of the datasets. The root means squared error (RMSE) for the temperature is 0.37 °C, below the manufacturer's precision statement (0.53 °C). The RMSE for the light intensity data was 569.5 lux. There was no detection of systematic errors in the data. The sensors were calibrated before deploymen
