Sodar - NREL Scintex SFAS Wind Profiler, Condon - Raw Data

**Overview**

The dataset includes 15-minute average wind speed and direction records from 10 m to 250 m above ground level (AGL) in 5-m range gates. Data were collected by a Scintec SFAS wind profiler installed at the Condon State Airport in Oregon, about 1.8 km northeast of the center of Condon, Ore., and are intended for validating WFIP2 model improvements.

**Data Details**

Instrument location:
* N 45° 14’ 41.58” (N 45.244885)  
* W 120° 10’ 06.58” (W 120.168495)

Instrument clock and computer system time set to UTC.

**Data Quality**

The Scintec SFAS wind profiler instrument installed at the Decker Ranch is capable of measuring at heights up to 500 m. For this study, the maximum height was set to 250 m. The instrument was oriented to true north, so no corrections to the wind direction should be made. Scintec wind profilers come with the APRun software package, which performs data collection and quality control (QC), among other functions. Version 1.46 of APRun was used in this study.

The APRun manual states:
*The primary results are checked against local signal quality criteria, combined signal quality criteria and two-dimensional spatial/temporal consistency tests. Any data that does not pass all quality control tests is devalidated and removed*.

Devalidation means replacing the value with an error value, usually a series of ‘9’s, such as 99.99 or 999.99. Not all devalidated data are actually removed from the *.mnd files, so the user must filter them out. There are some error flags that indicate the type of error, but these are not included in the *.mnd files, and we have no access to them.

Because QC already has been performed by APRun, our QC procedures consisted of removing samples with error values and performing a visual inspection of the data to see if larger patterns indicated any kind of problem.

There are 515 gaps of two hours or less and 26 gaps of more than two hours. The longest gaps are:
* 47.78 days, from 2016-03-16 18:00Z to 2016-05-03 12:45Z  
* 40.20 days, from 2016-06-04 13:15Z to 2016-07-14 18:00Z

All gaps that exceed two hours are listed in file: Condon_gaps.txt.

Sodar - ND Scintec MFAS Wind Profiler with RASS, Rufus - Reviewed Data

**Overview**

These data provide vertical mean profiles of wind and direction (30 min time step and 10 m range gate).

**Data Details**

Data averaged over an interval of 30 minutes.

Wind Direction is from Geographic North.

Time stamp is included in each data file.

Location: John Day/Rufus Water Treatment Plant (45.690842,-120.745751).
Site Elevation: 62 m.

**Data Quality**

Data quality procedure applied to this dataset is through the Sodar Operation software/firmware (APRun 1.48 by Scintec).

APRun calculates wind speed, temperature, and all other output data from the raw data received from the device server during measurement. Raw data contain raw received signal data (Fourier power spectra) obtained during measurement. The raw data are filtered, preprocessed, and averaged over one full averaging interval (30 minutes). Various corrections and filters are applied, such as ground clutter detection and removal. All signals of the different subcycles, measurement beams, and acoustic frequencies are decoded and combined according to a composition matrix (Composit Construction Table). A pattern recognition and fit procedure obtains primary results for wind components and signal quality scores.

The primary results are checked against local signal quality criteria, combined signal quality criteria, and two-dimensional spatial/temporal consistency tests. 

Any data that do not pass all quality control tests are invalidated and removed, i.e., the output files contain error values (e.g., 99.999). 

APRun also applies a declination angle correction based on the  antenna azimuth angle [deg] provided by the user. The antenna azimuth angle is provided in the header of each data file.

For more details, refer to the *Scintec Flat Array Sodar – Software Manual APRun Version 1.27*.

output files contain error values (e.g., 99.999). For more details, refer to the *Sodar APRun Software Manual*.

**Constraints**

* The instrument is aligned to magnetic North.  
* Correction for the magnetic declination (15 degrees E) was not accounted for the data until March 12, 2016 and was corrected thereafter. This information is included in header of each data file under the field <<antenna azimuth angle [deg] : >>. This angle is erroneously left equal to zero in the data files until March 12. Data after March 12 have the correct antenna azimuth angle of 15 degrees. An example of both types of data files is provided.

Note that the file header also includes the field <<height above sea level [m] >>, which is left to default value (i.e., zero [m]) for most of the dataset. This height value does not affect the actual data because it is only used by the APRun sodar software for visualization purposes.

Radar - ESRL Wind Profiler with RASS, Wasco Airport - Raw Data

**Overview**

**Winds**
A radar wind profiler measures the Doppler shift of electromagnetic energy scattered back from atmospheric turbulence and hydrometeors along 3-5 vertical and off-vertical point beam directions. Back-scattered signal strength and radial-component velocities are remotely sensed along all beam directions and  combined to derive the horizontal wind field over the radar. These data typically are sampled and averaged hourly and usually have 6-m and/or 100-m vertical resolutions up to 4 km for the 915 MHz and 8 km for the 449 MHz systems. 

**Temperature**
To measure atmospheric temperature, a radio acoustic sound system (RASS) is used in conjunction with the wind profile. These data typically are sampled and averaged for five minutes each hour and have a 60-m vertical resolution up to 1.5 km for the 915 MHz and 60-m up to 3.5k m for the 449 MHz.

**Data Quality**

Various quality control (QC) algorithms developed over the years process data in real time on the radar software layer. These algorithms, which run in real time, act on time-series, spectra, moment, and consensus data layers that are persisted in various forms. For a detailed description, refer to the attached QC document: *915 and 449 MHz Radar Wind Profilers and RASS QC*.

Radar - ESRL Wind Profiler with RASS, Wasco Airport - Derived Data

**Overview**

Profiles of turbulence dissipation rate for 15-minute intervals, time-stamped at the beginning of the 15-minute period, during the final 30 minutes of each hour. During that time, the 915-MHz wind profiling radar was in an optimized configuration with a vertically pointing beam only for measuring accurate spectral widths of vertical velocity. A bias-corrected dissipation rate also was profiled (described in McCaffrey et al. 2017). Hourly files contain two 15-minute profiles.
