  1. For temperature average, minimum and maximum recorded values are given in degrees Celsius, for relative humidity average percentages are given. For rain fall, the totals are shown in millimetres and average wind speed is given in kilometres per hour. The data shown was recorded every 15 min (n = 768 for each replicates) from the day of release up to and including 7 days after release.
