Datetime = the datetime the data was recorded in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.
Air_temperature = air temperature (degrees Celsius). These values represent the measurements recorded by the data logger with calibration equations applied.
Dewpoint = dewpoint temperature (degrees Celsius). These values represent the measurements recorded by the logger with calibration equation applied. For hygrochrons, some loggers did not record humidity and hence have 'NA', others recorded relative humidity and the dewpoint value was calulated using the relative humidity and air temperature.
Location_ID = a categorical variable (1-10) that represents the location of 10 arrays positioned throughout the Campbelltown roost. 
Logger_height = A categorical variable that represents the height the data logger was positioned in the array above ground level (0m, 1.5m, 3m or 6m). 
Season = the study was conducted over four Austral summers. This categorical variable represents the season the data was collected.
Logger_type = a categorical variable that indicates whether the data was recorded by a kestrel drop (D2) or a hygrochron (ibutton). 
Serial_number = the unique identifier for each logger used in the study. 
Distance_to_treatment_m = the straight line distance from the active sprinkler site to the location of the logger in meters. 
sprinkler_start_time = the start time of the sprinkler treatment in format HH:MM:SS. In 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 the sprinkler treatment started at 12:00:00, and in 2023-24 it started at 14:30:00. In all years the sprinklers operated for half an hour (30 mins). 
Sprinkler_treatment = a factor variable to indicate whether the data logger was positioned in the active sprinkler site (on = 1), inactive sprinkler site (off = 0), or a site not subject to the sprinklers at any time in the study period (control = 2).

Datetime = the datetime the data was recorded in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.
Air_temperature = air temperature (degrees Celsius) recorded by Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather stations.
Dewpoint = dewpoint temperature (degrees Celsius) recorded by Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather stations.
Solar_radiation = solar radiation (W/m2) recorded by Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather stations.
Wind_speed = average wind speed (m/s) recorded by Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather stations.
Rain = rainfall (mm) recorded by Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather stations.
Treatment_site = the treatment site the weather station was positioned in; Site A, Site B, and Control. Site A and B were sprinkler treatment sites that ran on alternate days.
Sprinkler_start_time = the start time of the sprinkler treatment in format HH:MM:SS. In 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 the sprinkler treatment started at 12:00:00, and in 2023-24 it started at 14:30:00. In all years the sprinklers operated for half an hour (30 mins). 
seconds_since_sprinklers_started = time in seconds since the sprinkler treatment was activated. E.g. 14:30 in 2023-24 would be 0, 15:00 would be 1800. Negative numbers indicate times prior to the activation of the sprinklers.
Sprinkler_treatment = a factor variable to indicate whether the sprinklers were active (on = 1), or inactive (off = 0). 2 indicates the control which was never subject to sprinklers at any time.
