Surface Meteorological Station - North Bend, OR (OTH) - Raw Data

A variety of instruments are used to measure various quantities related to meteorology, precipitation, and radiation near the Earth’s surface. Typically, a standard suite of instruments is deployed to monitor meteorological state variables.

Surface Meteorological Station - HilFlowS - LLNL 52m tall tower - EOP - Processed Data

The WindCube v2 was co-located with Site 300’s 52-m-tall meteorological tower so that measurements below 40 m could also be observed. The meteorological tower has three measurement levels: 10 m, 23 m, and 52 m. Wind speed was measured with a cup anemometer; wind direction with a wind vane. Data are available as 15-minute averages.

WFIP3 - RHOD Site - PNNL Surface Meteorological Suit / Raw Data

This dataset contains raw data from the WFIP3 RHOD site supplementary meteorological sensors: T/RH and barometer; 1-sec average. The supplementary meteorological suite was added to PNNL Surface Flux Station to provide independent measurements of air temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure.

Prediction of Potential and Actual Evapotranspiration Fluxes Using Six Meteorological Data-Based Approaches for a Range of Climate and Land Cover Types

Evapotranspiration is the major component of the water cycle, so a correct estimate of this variable is fundamental. The purpose of the present research is to assess the monthly scale accuracy of six meteorological data-based models in the prediction of evapotranspiration (ET) losses by comparing the modelled fluxes with the observed ones from eight sites equipped with eddy covariance stations which differ in terms of vegetation and climate type. Three potential ET methods (Penman-Monteith, Priestley-Taylor, and Blaney-Criddle models) and three actual ET models (the Advection-Aridity, the Granger and Gray, and the Antecedent Precipitation Index method) have been proposed. The findings show that the models performances differ from site to site and they depend on the vegetation and climate characteristics. Indeed, they show a wide range of error values ranging from 0.18 to 2.78. It has been not possible to identify a single model able to outperform the others in each biome, but in general, the Advection-Aridity approach seems to be the most accurate, especially when the model calibration in not carried out. It returns very low error values close to 0.38. When the calibration procedure is performed, the most accurate model is the Granger and Gray approach with minimum error of 0.13 but, at the same time, it is the most impacted by this process, and therefore, in a context of data scarcity, it results the less recommended for ET prediction. The performances of the investigated ET approaches have been furthermore tested in case of lack of measured data of soil heat fluxes and net radiation considering using empirical relationships based on meteorological data to derive these variables. Results show that, the use of empirical formulas to derive ET estimates increases the errors up to 200% with the consequent loss of model accuracy.

Surface ozone and meteorological variables at CoURAGE TBS site during summer IOP

This dataset provides continuous near ground-level in situ ozone and meteorological data at the TBS site (S7) during the CoURAGE summer IOP. The ozone inlet and the weather station were approximately 5 meters above the surface. In situ ozone (ppbv) was collected with a 2BTech Model 205 dual beam ozone monitor. The meteorological data (temperature, pressure, relative humidity, wind speed, and wind direction) was collected with an AIRMAR 220WX WeatherStation Instrument with relative humidity (RH) module. The data has 2-second temporal resolution.
