Ceilometer - ND Ceilometer, Wasco Airport - Raw Data

**Overview**

Measurements of cloud base height and vertical visibility using pulsed infrared (910 nm) diode laser LIDAR technology. The instrument can detect up to three cloud layers simultaneously.

**Data Details**

Measurements taken in the standard measuring mode, where the CL31 ceilometer digitally samples the return signal every 67 ms from 0 to 50 microseconds, provide a spatial resolution of 10 m with data-averaged messages received every two seconds. The reporting interval is 16 seconds.

Data are saved in 7-bit US-ASCII format files of type *.DAT through the Vaisala software CL-VIEW then decoded offline into files of type *.xlsx using the same software. Refer to *Vaisala Graphical User Interface for Ceilometers CL-VIEW User's Guide* (software manual) or *Vaisala Ceilometer CL31 User's Guide* (instrument manual).
Both *.DAT and *.xlsx data files are provided in the DAP, along with a graphical presentation (.png file) of the cloud intensity versus altitude over 24-hour periods.
  
**IMPORTANT NOTE**: Graphics are for illustrative purpose only and may include invalid data.

The description provided in "Primary Measurements/Variables" refers to  the *.xlsx type. For explanatory purposes, a typical data file of type *.xlsx also is attached. 

Note that each file (both *.DAT and *.xlsx) contains 24-hour data—unless an instrument failure occurred. In this case, there may be two partial files per type (or more in cases of multiple failures within 24 hours) that contain the data collected prior and after the failure, respectively.

*  Instrument Location: Wasco, OR  
*  Latitude: 45˚ 35.400’ N  
*  Longitude: 120˚ 40.317’ W  
*  Elevation (meters): 442 m

**Data Quality**

Automated quality control (QC) is performed via the instrument software and already is applied to the data provided to the DAP. These data files contain error values (column called “status” in the .*xlsx files). A "0" signifies that no error has happened. Definitions of the different error groups are provided in the *Vaisala Ceilometer CL31 User's Guide* (PDF attachment).

Sodar - St. James, MN - Processed Data

**Overview**

This dataset was produced from the raw sodar .wtb files from the St. James, MN site during the WFIP1 campaign.  Quality control and formatting have been applied to transform the numerous raw files into a single file to provide user friendliness and improved wind resource characterization at this location.

**Data Details**

Location: 43.98549, -94.5527

Elevation: 324 m

Output heights:  Every 5 meters from 10 meters to 200 meters

**Data Quality**

Data from the raw files were filtered according to the following automated and manual procedures.  Missing and rejected values were flagged as -999.  High precipitation events as suggested by the vertical velocity values were subjected to quality control.  If any vertical velocity value at any height for a given timestamp fell below a -1.5 m/s threshold, all variables at all heights at that timestamp were rejected.  On a height-by-height basis, if the SNR for any of the u, v, or w wind components reached 10 or below, all variables for that height and timestamp were rejected.  The raw files were also screened for nonphysical values such as wind speeds less than zero and directions outside 0-360 degrees.  Finally, the data were visually examined for events of atypical sodar retrievals, such as excessive magnitudes in oscillations or periods of stagnancy.  One event of the latter variety was noted, removed, and is discussed in greater detail in the events section below.

Wind Turbine / Reviewed Data

**Overview**

The SUMR-D CART2 turbine data are recorded by the CART2 wind turbine's supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) SUMR-D project located at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Flatirons Campus.  For the project, the CART2 wind turbine was outfitted with a highly flexible rotor specifically designed and constructed for the project.  More details about the project can be found here: https://sumrwind.com/.  The data include power, loads, and meteorological information from the turbine during startup, operation, and shutdown, and when it was parked and idle.

**Data Details**

Additional files are attached:   
sumr_d_5-Min_Database.mat - a database file in MATLAB format of this dataset, which can be used to search for desired data files;
sumr_d_5-Min_Database.xlsx - a database file in Microsoft Excel format of this dataset, which can be used to search for desired data files;
loadcartU.m - this script loads in a CART data file and puts it in your workspace as a Matlab matrix (you can call this script from your own Matlab scripts to do your own analysis);
charts.mat - this is a dependency file needed for the other scripts (it allows you to make custom preselections for cartPlotU.m);
cartLoadHdrU.m - this script loads in the header file information for the data file (the header is embedded in each data file at the beginning);
cartPlotU.m - this is a graphic user interface (GUI) that allows you to interactively look at different channels (to use it, run the script in Matlab, and load in the data file(s) of interest; from there, you can	select different channels and plot things against each other;  note that this script has issues with later versions of MATLAB; the preferred version to use is R2011b).

**Data Quality**

Wind turbine blade loading data were calibrated using blade gravity calibrations prior to data collection and throughout the data collection period.  Blade loading was also checked for data quality following data collection as strain gauge measurements drifted throughout the data collection.  These drifts in the strain gauge measurements were removed in post processing.
