Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP): University of Salford sonic anemometer 1 measurements from Faccombe, UK
The University of Salford sonic anemometer 1 data describe observations taken by a 7 meter sonic anemometer at Faccombe wind turbine field site, Hampshire. The dataset contains measurements of wind speed collected from 21st July 2005 until 26th August 2005.
The dataset contains measurements of the following parameters:
Latitude; the latitude of the sonic anemometer (degrees north)
Longitude; the longitude of the sonic anemometer (degrees east)
Altitude; the altitude of the sonic anemometer base above mean sea level (m)
Height ; the height of the sonic anemometer head above ground level (m)
Measurement rate; the measurement rate of the sonic anemometer, set at either 1 or 10 Hz
Sonic Orientation; the orientation of the sonic coordinate system, clockwise, to convert from sonic to meteorological coordinates (degrees)
Time; time in seconds from midnight UTC for each measurement (s)
X wind; the wind speed along the orthogonal x direction (m s-1)
Y wind; the wind speed along the orthogonal y direction (m s-1)
Upperward air velocity; the wind speed along the orthogonal z direction (m s-1)
Sonic virtual temperature; the sonic virtual temperature, average between the three non orthogonal sonic axes, related to the speed of sound (K)
The sonic anemometer is a Campbell Scientific CSAT3 using a CR5000 datalogger. The 7 m sonic was mounted on a Clark QTM mast.
