Surface Meteorological Station - ANL 10m tower, Goldendale - Raw Data

Overview

Basic meteorological measurements.

Data Quality

The Argonne National Laboratory Surface Meteorology Systems (MET) measurements collected at collocated radar wind profiler sites are visually inspected weekly for data outliers or instrument problems. Of note, the surface MET stations have had few data quality issues. The final dataset provided to the DAP will have all outliers or problematic data removed using automated and visual processes, including minimum/maximum checks, in a similar process as is used for ARM MET data.

Uncertainty

The uncertainties of the MET measurements are taken to be the accuracy of the individual measurements as specified by the instrument manufacturers.

Constraints

There are no constraints on MET measurements concerning acceptable wind directions or meteorological conditions.
