Description
Summary:Herewith we present the dataset of wind measurements from a Skipheia meteorological station on the island of Frøya on the western coast of Norway, Trondelag. The site represents an exposed coastal wind climate with open sea, land and mixed fetch from various directions. UTM-coordinates of the Met-mast: 8.34251 E and 63.66638 N. Presented data were gathered between years 2009-2015; Hardware summary: 6 pairs of 2D sonic anemometers at 10, 16, 25, 40, 70, 100 m above the ground, independent temperature measurements at the same heights and near the ground; pressure and relative humidity from local meteostation (Sula, 20 km away). Database summary: approx. 180 000 of 10 min data samples of full data recovery. Wind speed and direction, temperature, pressure & relative humidity (from a nearby meteostation). Data description: Two data files of different formats are available: a ‘*.txt’ comma-separated values file and a native MATLAB ‘*.mat’ file. Both contain the same data, starting with the first column: timestamp, wind speed (m/s, columns WS1-WS12) for 6 anemometers pairs, wind direction (360 deg, columns WD1-WD12) for 6 anemometers pairs, temperature at 0.2 m (AT0), temperatures at levels of wind measurement (deg C, AT1-AT6), data from nearby meteostation Sula, pressure (hPa, PressureSula), relative humidity (%, RelHumSula), temperature (deg C, TempSula), wind direction (360 deg, WDSula) and wind speed (m/s, WSSula). Columns have headers describing the data (first row). Detailed site description with wind climate description can be found in attached analysis: Site analysys.pdf.
