Abstract
The University of Leeds Sodar 1 dataset contains measurements of the scattering of sound waves by atmospheric turbulence at Chilbolton Observatory, Hampshire over the periods from the 6th of July to the 27th of July 2004 and from the 10th of June 2005 to the 19th of August 2005. The dataset contains measurements of wind speed at various heights above the ground, and the thermodynamic structure of the lower layer of the atmosphere.
