Description
The sonic data within the building array is composed of 26 days of 30-minute average data from 30 sonic anemometers. The unobstructed tower sonic data is also the same, but of the 5 heights of the tower. The data files have 48 columns associated with date and time identifiers as well as meteorological turbulence measurements. This dataset is not publicly accessible because: The data were not collected by EPA and are hosted external to the agency. It can be accessed through the following means: The detailed sonic dataset is freely available to others wishing to perform additional analysis however, it is large and not readily posted. The complete dataset is included in the comprehensive JR II data archive set up by the DHS Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate, Chemical Security Analysis Center (CSAC). To obtain the data, an email request can be sent to JackRabbit@st.dhs.gov. The user can then access the archive on the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN). Format: The sonic data within the Jack Rabbit II (JRII) mock-urban building array are in 30-minute averaged daily excel files separated by each sonic anemometer with numerous variables. The unobstructed, raw 10Hz tower data are in .dat files and processed into 30-minute average daily csv files by sonic height.
