    • Lidar - CU WindCube V2 Profiler, Gordons Ridge - Raw Data

    Metadata Updated: April 26, 2022

    Overview

    Wind and lidar turbulence profiles from 40 m to 220 m above the surface.

    Data Quality

    These two-minute-averaged data files consider the 1 Hz line-of-sight measurements that pass the -22 dB CNR quality control threshold.

    Uncertainty

    Line-of-sight measurements are converted to horizontal wind speed by assuming horizontal homogeneity in the measurement volume (as discussed in several publications, including Rhodes and Lundquist 2013 and Lundquist et al. 2015). In inhomogeneous flow, this assumption may not be valid. These instruments were sited to avoid breaking the horizontal inhomogeneity assumption, although the Gordon's Ridge sight may be problematic in this respect.
