Description
Summary:The timeseries constitutes two different types of AWS. The first is a standard type modular AWS described extensively in https://doi.org/10.1080/15230430.2017.1420954. The second type (operational from Aug2016 at AWS5, Aug2015 at AWS6, Aug2014 at AWS9, Aug2014 at AWS10) is a very compact IMAU design AWS consisting of one integrated module containing the datalogger, energy system and multiple sensors. In addition to the datalogger unit there are also 2 independent sensors dedicated to wind speed/direction and radiation (a Young prop/vane, CNR4 radiation sensor). All three units are mounted 3 to 4m above the surface at one mast boom. The data set is therefore divided per station in two periods depending on AWS type which are identified in the dataset in the last column no. 16 being either 0 or 1 for the first and second type AWS unit (approx. 2003-2015 and 2016-2021, respectively). Exact timing of changing from AWS type 0 to 1 (as indicated in column 16) takes place during the yearly maintenance visits at the ...
