Surface Meteorological Station - ESRL Short Tower, Troutdale - Raw Data

Overview

A diversity of instruments are used to measure various quantities related to meteorology, precipitation, and radiation near the Earth’s surface. Typically, a standard suite of instruments is deployed to monitor meteorological state variables.

Data Quality

Data collected in real time are minimally processed with basic thresholding done on the software ingest layer. Normally, for post-case analysis, a fully processed secondary dataset is provided. Unwanted artifacts reflecting an instrument's failure may be present in the real-time datasets.

For b0 quality-controlled data, wind speed and direction data have been reviewed for potential icing events, and suspect data have been flagged.
