Description

This dataset contains high-resolution wind observations from three field campaigns that took place during 2010-2014 at Big Southern Butte, Salmon River Canyon, and Birch Creek, Idaho. There are three SQLite databases containing 30-s averaged 3-m wind speed, wind direction, and wind gust data from 30-90 cup-and-vane anemometers over a period of 2-4 months at each field site.

Notes

Additional data including sodar, radar, sonic anemometer, and weather station data are available for select periods at each site. Contact natalie.s.wagenbrenner at usda dot gov for more information.
