These profiling lidar datasets collect profiles of wind speed and wind direction from nominally 40 m above the surface to 220 m above the surface, depending on visibility.
This dataset showcases the role of shortwave and longwave radiation in planetary boundary layer (PBL) development and winds. Radiation budget is part of the energy budget.
In support of the Wind Forecasting Improvement Project, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) deployed surface meteorological stations in Oregon.
The primary purpose of WFIP2 Model Development Team is to improve existing numerical weather prediction models in a manner that leads to improved wind forecasts in regions of complex terrain. Improvements in the models will come through better understanding of the physics associated with the wind flow in and around the wind plant across a range of temporal and spatial scales, which will be gained through WFIP2's observational field study and analysis.
This dataset contains measurements from eight different Vaisala Triton Wind Profiler instruments. The Triton Wind Profiler is a sodar wind profiler that measures wind speed, direction, and turbulence intensity at heights from 30 m to 200 m above ground every 10 minutes. The eight Tritons are located at various sites around the WFIP2 study area.
The EIA 861 electricity entity information dataset which acts as the input data to the electricity_entity_boundaries workflow (https://github.com/IMMM-SFA/electricity_entity_boundaries).
1. Evaluate performance of the Halo Photonics Streamline lidar against a calibrated reference (i.e. the BAO tower). 2. Provide measurements of vertical velocity for use with other scanning lidars to better constrain velocity retrievals. 3. Provide colocated reference for comparison with Vindicator lidars.
A diversity of instruments are used to measure various quantities related to meteorology, precipitation, and radiation near the Earth's surface. Typically, a standard suite of instruments is deployed to monitor meteorological state variables.
