TEAMx sEOP: MAWS data collected at Nafingalm

ABSTRACT

This data set was collected by ten automatic weather stations, referred to as Mini-AWS (MAWS), operated by ACINN at the Nafingalm, Austria. The data were gathered during the summer of 2025 within the framework of the TEAMx sEOP. Further details regarding TEAMx are available at http://www.teamx-programme.org, as well as in Serafin et al. (2020) and Rotach et al. (2022).

DATA SET DESCRIPTION

1. Locations

The ten MAWS were deployed at various altitudes across the Nafingalm mountain pasture, situated at the head of the Weer Valley (Tyrol, Austria).

2. Period

The TEAMx sEOP took place from 16 June to 25 July 2025. This MAWS data set covers a slightly broader period, from 07 June to 30 July 2025, with a measurement interval of 1 minute.

3. Instrument details

Detailed descriptions of the MAWS, including sensors and parameters, are provided within the netCDF file metadata and in the accompanying PDF file containing the netCDF header.

4. Data file

The data are provided in a single netCDF file: TEAMx_sEOP_MAWS_Nafingalm.nc. A description of its contents is available in TEAMx_sEOP_MAWS_Nafingalm_ncdump_output.pdf, which was generated using the Linux command ncdump -h.

5. Quicklooks and photos

This data set includes quicklook figures showing the full time series of all parameters for every station (TEAMx_sEOP_MAWSxx_Nafingalm.png, where xx ranges from 01 to 10). Additionally, site photos for all stations except one are provided (TEAMx_sEOP_MAWSxx_Nafingalm_photo.jpg, where xx ranges from 01 to 09).

6. Analysis

A preliminary analysis of this data was conducted in a Bachelor thesis (Riegler, 2026), which is available upon request from the author of this data set.
