Surface Meteorological Station - BAO West of Tower, Surface - Processed Data

Published by Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2021-10-11T00:00:00Z
**Overview** Proving basic surface meteorology, soil hydrology and temperature, and fluxes of energy (radiation and turbulent fluxes) and water (precipitation, evaporation, and soil moisture). **Data Details** Contact **David Noone**. **Data Quality** This dataset is preliminary and has undergone limited quality control. Basic meteorological quantities have been transcribed to netcdf from raw data logger files. Flux data has been reprocessed using a spectral estimation method with automated spike removal. **Uncertainty** Uncertainty on raw data includes instrument calibration and precision. Uncertainty on eddy covariance data has not been established for this dataset, but prior work on similar datasets suggests a conservative estimate on sensible and latent heat flux uncertainty of about 20% or 10 W/m2, whichever is larger.
