Description
Summary:This data set contains raw measurements from a sodar that is deployed at Summit Station, Greenland. This sodar operates at 2100 Hz and points vertically. Reflectivity measurements from the system are used to characterize gradients in the lower atmosphere that provide information on the boundary layer depth. Data files including the relative backscatter. Detailed information on file parameters and other aspects of the dataset are included in the netCDF header information for each file. The sodar is owned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations's Earth System Research Laboratory. Field operations are supported by the National Science Foundation's Arctic Observing Network (AON) Program.
