Full details on the network's design, instrumentation, and scientific objectives are described in Caluwaerts et al.

No quality control has been applied to these data; users are advised to perform their own screening prior to scientific use.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>File Contents</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The dataset consists of two files:</p> <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><strong>Observation data (CSV):</strong> Tabular records at 5-minute intervals for all VLINDER stations.
