Abstract

Vaisala WXT sensor is an all-in-one weather instrument that provides 6 of the most important weather parameters: barometric pressure, temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction. Temperature, pressure, relative humidity, and rainfall are sampled at 1 second frequency, while wind speed/direction is measured at ten per second (10Hz) frequency. These measurements are useful for looking at characterizing local weather, identifying unique weather events, and studying local turbulence, especially given the high temporal resolution of the wind measurements. These measurements are collected at the Argonne Testbed for Multiscale Observational Science (ATMOS), a prairie field site at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois. Data is available in the netCDF data format, we encourage data users review documentation through Project Pythia to understand how to work with netCDF data https://foundations.projectpythia.org/core/data-formats/netcdf-cf.html. The data is aggregated into daily frequency to make it easier to process multiple days, and compress the higher-resolution fields. Each file contains one day's worth of data (24 hours, starting at 0000 UTC). File naming convention includes the project (CROCUS), location (atmos), data level (raw, a1), date (year, month, day), and hour (0000).

CROCUS Air Quality Data at Argonne National Laboratory Prairie Site

Dataset Tuftedal, Matthew ; O'Brien, Joseph ; Muradyan, Paytsar ; ...

The AQT (Vaisala AQT530) instrument provides observations on meteorological conditions, including particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), gas species concentrations (NO, NO2, O3, CO), and environment temperature and moisture. These measurements are critical for understanding air quality. These measurements are useful for understanding changes in aerosol properties, air quality research, and comparing to model experiments especially in urban environments.

CROCUS Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge Data at Argonne National Laboratory Prairie Site

Dataset Tuftedal, Matthew ; Kyrouac, Jenni ; Isenberger, Cassandra ; ...

The Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge (TBRG) dataset contains data from both the Nova-Lynx 12 inch TBRG and the Met One 8-inch TBRG. The dataset contains one minute measurements for precipitation accumulation measured in that timeframe from both instruments. Each TBRG was equipped with heaters for all-season measurements. These data are helpful for identifying periods of drought, potential flooding, and general input for water budgets. TBRGs can be used to validate optical rain gauge data and disdrometer data collected during the CROCUS project.

The Ambient Weather WS-2902D (AMB) is a low cost weather station that has become very useful for filling data gaps in harder to deploy locations. These low cost weather stations collect 13 second data, which is averaged to a five minute data output available to users through an API key. The data files contain measurements for precipitation, temperature, wind chill/heat index, relative humidity, dew point, UV index, solar radiation, wind speed, wind direction, wind gust, and with an external particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) sensor. Having all of these measurements in one condense system allows for fast deploying and densemore »« less
