Abstract:

915 MHz Profiler winds and moments collected by the EOL/Integrated Sounding System team during the M2HATS (Multi-point Monin-Obukhov similarity horizontal array turbulence study) field campaign in Tonopah, Nevada. Daily NetCDF-3 files of 915 MHz radar wind profiles are available as 30 minute averages in both standard and NIMA (NCAR Improved Moments Algorithm) processing. Daily NetCDF-3 files of 30 minute averaged moments are provided by NIMA processing. Winds and moments are also available in Zarr store format preserving all three data products (NIMA moments, NIMA winds, standard winds) as separate groups within a single daily store.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in GDEX citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
