TEAMx-PC22 (TEAMx pre-campaing 2022) - ACINN automatic weather station data set from Nafingalm

ABSTRACT

This data set was collected with an automatic weather station (AWS) of ACINN at the Nafingalm, Austria, in summer 2022 in the framework of the TEAMx pre-campaign 2022 (TEAMx-PC22). The aim of TEAMx-PC22 was to test new instruments, new instrument configurations and new measurement sites to support the planning of the main TEAMx observational campaign (TOC) in 2024/2025. More details about TEAMx can be found at http://www.teamx-programme.org as well as in Serafin et al. (2020) and in Rotach et al. (2022).

DATA SET DESCRIPTION

1. Location

The AWS was located close to a small lake at the Nafinglam in the Weer Valley, Tyrol, Austria. The exact location is: 47.2151419°N / 11.712628°E / 1928 m MSL

2. Period

The TEAMx-PC22 lasted from mid-May 2022 to early October 2022. However, the AWS data set provided here contains the period from 15 June to 12 September 2022. The time series has a measurement interval of 5 minutes and, depending on the parameter, contains both mean values and instantaneous values.

3. Instrument details

A detailed description of the AWS, its sensors, parameters, calibration and correction procedures is provided as part of the netCDF file metadata, as well as in a PDF file containing the netCDF header extracted with the Linux command ncdump -h.

4. Data file

The data are provided in a single netCDF file teamx_pc22_aws_nafingalm.nc together with a description of its content in the PDF file teamx_pc22_aws_nafingalm_ncdump_output.pdf.

5. Analysis

A first analysis of the data was performed in a Bachor thesis (Viebahn, 2023), which is available upon request from the first author of this data set.
