Atmospheric Surface Flux Station #50 measurements (level 1 Raw), Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere and Surface for Hydrometeorology (SPLASH), October 2021-June 2023

Raw (Level 1) measurements from the Atmospheric Surface Flux Station #50 (ASFS-50) deployed at the Avery Picnic site (38°58.3455' N, 106°59.8113' W) during the Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere, and Surface for Hydrometeorology (SPLASH) campaign near Gothic, Colorado, from October 2021 through June 2023. The ASFS measured variables comprising the surface energy budget, surface momentum flux, near-surface meteorology, and soil properties.  These measurements are included in three netCDF files per day. The "slow" files are for 1-minute averages of the measured variables, including near-surface meteorology, surface height change (due to accumulating/ablating snow), and upwelling and downwelling shortwave and longwave radiative fluxes. The "fast" files are for data at 20 Hz resolution including 3-dimensional wind, temperature, and gas concentrations of water vapor and carbon dioxide. These data are raw measurements with technical corrections applied but no quality assurance. A detailed documentation of the measurement will be provided in a forthcoming publication. For scientific purposes, we recommend using the Level 2 data files when they are available, as these will include full quality control as well as higher-order derived products.
