Dataset
ICECAPS-ACE: surface wind profiles taken at Summit Station, Greenland
Abstract
This dataset contains near-surface wind profile from four sonic anemometers distributed on the 15 m tower at Summit Station, Greenland, detected by Lufft VentusX, heated 2D sonic anemometer, and Metek uSonic-3 scientific, heated 3D sonic anemometer. Data are 1 minute averages concatenated into monthly files.
These data were collected as part of the joint Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC) and US National Science Foundation (NSF) -funded Integrated Characterisation of Energy, Clouds, Atmospheric state, and Precipitation at Summit - Aerosol Cloud Experiment (ICECAPS-ACE) project.
These data were continued through the 3 year extension to the ICECAPS-ACE project called ICECAPS-MELT.
