Automated Generation of Weather and Climate Analysis Products
In this project, we automated the production of wind roses for SRS meteorological towers. Graphics were generated for every 4-hour period of the day, for each of the 4 heights of instruments, for every half of each month. A 10-year climatological period consisted of measurements at 15-minute intervals. We used the years 2014-2024 as the wind instruments on the tower were upgraded to sonic anemometers in early 2014. We then compared these wind roses to those from a previous study done in 20031 to analyze the differences and similarities in the winds. The wind roses are used to understand environmental transport conditions at SRS2 .
