Abstract

The University of Leeds Sodar 2 dataset contains measurements of the scattering of sound waves by atmospheric turbulence at Alice Holt, Hampshire over the period from the 22nd of June 2005 to the 22nd 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.
