    • Lidar - California - Leosphere Windcube 866 (130), Morro Bay - Processed Data

    Metadata Updated: July 15, 2022

    Overview

    The purpose of this dataset is to provide preliminary filtered, averaged lidar data and standardize the data format of various data streams from the buoy into NetCDF. The attached Lidar Buoy Data Dictionary provides further details on the various instruments mounted on the buoys, parameters measured by each instrument, and the frequency of data collection.

    Data Details

    The lidar wind directions from the raw data were corrected by adding 180 degrees, due to a field error in connecting the Global Positioning System (GPS) leads to the lidar unit.

    Data Quality

    Standard filtering thresholds on the averaged data were applied and several data format issues of the raw data were streamlined to create a standardized NetCDF format data.

    Uncertainty

    The uncertainty of lidar data has not been analyzed, but it is not expected to deviate from instrument technical specifications.
