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:
- C Berretta, S Poë, V Stovin, 2014. 'Moisture content behaviour in extensive green roofs during dry periods: The influence of vegetation and substrate characteristics.' Journal of Hydrology 511, 374-386.
- V Stovin, S Poë, S De-Ville, and C Berretta, 2015. ‘The influence of substrate and vegetation configuration on green roof hydrological performance.’ Ecological Engineering, Vol. 85, 159-172.
