Dataset from the outdoor characterization of a B Series module from Insolight at the rooftop of the Instituto de Energía Solar - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. These are measurements of a module of the same type as “Outdoor monitoring data of an Insolight B-series module - CPV sub-module” however, in the previous measurements the module was mounted on a two-axis tracker to benchmark its performance, while in these measurements, the module’s integrated planar micro tracking system was used. This data was presented at IEEE PVSC 46 in June 2019 in Chicago. See preprint of conference article. Monitoring campaign: Location: 40.453°N, -3.727°E. Instituto de Energía Solar, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. 28040 Madrid, Spain. Fixed Mounting Angle: Due South, Slope Angle = 30° Starting date: 30 May 2019 End date: 14 June 2018 Description of data file: Data files format: single comma-separated text file; headers in first row; all of the following parameters; order below is the same as order in file Measurement time: the vector of times represents the times at which the Insolight module firmware sampled the current values of the III-V and Si outputs (measured simultaneously). Date Time (dd/mmm/yyyy HH:MM:SS): time in CEST / UTC+2 Measured meteorological data: these values are measured directly by the IES meteorological station with 1-minute resolution. They have been re-interpolated to match the measurement times. DNI (W/m2): direct normal irradiance as measured by a Normal Incidence Pyrheliometer from Eppley on a solar tracker. Spectral Range: 250-3000 nm. Field of view: 5° DNI_Top (W/m2): equivalent direct normal irradiance as measured by a top component cell of a lattice-matched III-V triple-junction cell in the ICU-3J35 Triband Spectro-heliometer from Solar Added Value on a solar tracker. Spectral range: 300 - 680 nm. Field of view: 5.7º DNI_Mid (W/m2): equivalent direct normal irradiance as measured by a middle component cell of a lattice-matched III-V triple-junction cell in the ICU-3J35 Triband Spectro-heliometer from Solar Added Value on a solar tracker. Spectral range: 680 - 900 nm. Field of view: 5.7º GNI (W/m2): global normal irradiance at the aperture plane as measured with a pyranometer on a solar tracker. Spectral range: 305 – 2800 nm. G(41°) (W/m2): Global Inclined Irradiance as measured with a pyranometer mounted facing due south and at a slope angle of 41° (near to local latitude). Spectral range: 305 – 2800 nm. T_Amb (°C): ambient temperature Wind Speed (m/s): wind speed Wind Dir. (m/s): wind direction Processed meteorological data: these values are calculated from the above meteorological data and provided for convenience DII (W/m2): Direct Inclined (plane of array) Irradiance corresponding to the module slope angle has been calculated using the sun’s known declination and hour angle from the time. GII (W/m2): The Global Inclined (plane of array) Irradiance is calculated by first calculating the DII(41°), that is the DII corresponding to the G(41°) measurement, and finding the Diffuse Inclined Irradiance Diff(41°) = G(41°) – DII(41°). It is assumed that the Diffuse Inclined Irradiance at 41° and 30° is equal, so GII = DII + Diff(41°). SMR_Top_Mid (n.d.): “Spectral Matching Ratio”. This is the ratio between DNI_Top and DNI_Mid. A value of unity indicates a spectrum that is equivalent to AM1.5D with regards to the energy balance between top and middle subcells. Measured module data: The module was placed in a short-ciruit condition and allowed to track using its integrated tracking system. The short circuit current was measured using shut resistors and integrated A/D channels. This hybrid module features both III-V micro cells (under concentration, with planar microtracking) and large area silicon solar cells (for diffuse capture). ISC_measured_IIIV (A): ISC_measured_Si (A) Estimated module data: As is explained in the IEEE PVSC 46 manuscript (see Preprint) the following values are estimated using the previously listed measured data. T_Backplane (°C) PMP_estimated_IIIV (W) PMP_estimated_Si (W)

Research data and scientific software related to spatio-temporal estimations of ecological soil moisture with available data covering the whole territory of Germany and the Kellerwald National Park (Hesse). Temporal trends of modelled soil moisture for the time period 1961–2070 were statistically analyzed. Soil moisture changes (drying-out) at both national and regional levels were mapped. {"references": ["Nickel S, Schr\u00f6der W 2017.

This document contains the Strategic Research Agenda to Innovation on Blue Energy developed in the framework of the PELAGOS project (D.4.2.1). Relying on both the current Research & Innvation guidelines and priorities established at European level for exploitating in the most effective way the potential of Ocean Energy and the knowledge acquired the activities of PELAGOS project at Mediterranean level, this document considers the strategic focus areas related to the most promising Marine Renewables Energy technologies in the Mediterranean area.

In the context of rapid climate change, phenological advance is a key adaptation for which evidence is accumulating across taxa. Among vertebrates, phenotypic plasticity is known to underlie most of this phenological change, while evidence for micro-evolution is very limited and challenging to obtain. In this study, we quantified phenotypic and genetic trends in timing of spring migration using 8032 dates of arrival at the breeding grounds obtained from observations on 1715 individual common terns (Sterna hirundo) monitored across 27 years, and tested whether these trends were consistent with predictions of a micro-evolutionary response to selection. We observed a strong phenotypic advance of 9.3 days in arrival date, of which c. 5% was accounted for by an advance in breeding values. The Breeder’s equation and Robertson’s Secondary Theorem of Selection predicted qualitatively similar evolutionary responses to selection, and these theoretical predictions were largely consistent with our estimated genetic pattern. Overall, our study provides rare evidence for micro-evolution underlying (part of) an adaptive response to climate change in the wild and illustrates how a combination of adaptive micro-evolution and phenotypic plasticity facilitated a shift towards earlier spring migration in this free-living population of common terns. Data used for models presented in: Micro-evolutionary response of spring migration timing in a wild seabird by Moiron M, Teplitsky C, Haest B, Charmantier A†, Bouwhuis S† († = shared last authors) published in Evolution Letters. for information regarding the analyses, please contact mariamoironc@gmail.com for information regarding the data, please contact sandra.bouwhuis@ifv-vogelwarte.de if you'd like to use the data, please also contact sandra.bouwhuis@ifv-vogelwarte.de These data are part of those collected in an ongoing individual-based longitudinal population study additional data are likely to be available, and we are often very happy to collaborate provided that none of our own staff or students is working on a conflicting project.

LivWell is a global longitudinal database which provides a range of key indicators related to women’s socioeconomic status, health and well-being, access to basic services, and demographic outcomes. Data are available at the sub-national level for 52 countries and 447 regions. A total of 134 indicators are based on 199 Demographic and Health Surveys for the period 1990-2019, supplemented by extensive information on socioeconomic and climatic conditions in the respective regions for a total of 190 indicators. The resulting data offer various opportunities for policy-relevant research on gender inequality, inclusive development, and demographic trends at the sub-national level. For a full description, please refer to the article describing the database here: (link to come) The companion repository livwelldata allows to easily use the database in R. The R package can be downloaded following the instructions on the following git repository: https://gitlab.pik-potsdam.de/belmin/livwelldata. The version of the database in the package is the same as in this repository.
