Title:

Jornada Basin LTER: Wireless meteorological station at MNort Tower site: 60-minute summary wind and air temperature data: 2020 - ongoing

Alternate Identifier:

DOI PLACE HOLDER

Abstract:

60-minute summary data at Road Tower. Average, maximum, and minimum air temperature; maximum and average wind speed; average wind direction. All measured and calculated based on 1-second scan rate of all sensors located at an automated meteorological station installed at Jornada LTER MNort Tower site. Wind speed is measured at 1.35 m, 2.30 m, 3.45 m, 7.05 m, and 15.15 m, wind direction at 2.5 m and 8.5 cm, and air temperature at 2.5 m and 8 m. This climate station is operated by the Jornada LTER Program. This is an ONGOING dataset.

GCE Data Toolbox for MATLAB

Abstract:

The GCE Data Toolbox is a comprehensive library of functions for metadata-based analysis quality control, transformation and management of ecological data sets. The toolbox is based on the GCE Data Structure, a MATLAB specification for storing tabular data along with all information required to interpret the data and generate formatted metadata (documentation). Metadata fields in the structure are queried by toolbox functions for all operations, allowing functions to process and format values appropriately based on the type of information they represent. This semantic processing approach supports highly automated and intelligent data analysis and ensures data set validity throughout all processing steps.

Quality Control
Quality Control Step 1:

Description:

Quality control analysis was performed using the GCE Data Toolbox for MATLAB software. Column data types are validated upon importing the table into MATLAB, and qualifier flags are automatically generated for data values based on QA/QC criteria for each data column pre-defined in metadata templates (e.g. value range checks, sanity checks, pattern checks). Automatically-assigned qualifier flags are reviewed graphically and revised or augmented as deemed appropriate by JRN information management staff, based on metadata information from the contributor, values of other measured variables, or statistical tests. Qualifier flags are also assigned to values that are imputed or derived, revised, or otherwise differ from values in the original data submission. A column of coded qualifier flags is generated and included in the data table if flags are assigned to any value in a data column.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Summary: A met station consisting of a 15-meter mast is installed at the MNort Tower site. Air temperature, wind direction, and wind speed sensors are mounted on the mast. A vertical wind profile is measured with anemometers at 1.35 m, 2.30 m, 3.45 m, 7.05 m, and 15.15 m, wind direction at 2.5 m and 8.5 cm, and air temperature at 2.5 m and 8 m.

Instrument(s):

Temperature Probe; Manufacturer: Campbell Scientific Instruments, Model: CS215; Parameter: Air Temperature Accuracy: +/-0.3 degrees C at 25 degrees C, +/-0.4 degrees (5 degrees C to 40 degrees C), +/-0.9 degrees C (-40 degrees C to 70 degrees C), Range: -40 degrees C to 70 degrees C); Anemometer; Manufacturer: NRG, Inc (Model: 40C); Parameter: Wind Speed (Range: 0.5 to 50 m/s); Wind Vane; Manufacturer: NRG, Inc (Model: 200P); Parameter: Wind Direction (Range: 360 degrees (1 m/s threshold), Dead band: 8 degrees max, 4 degrees typical)

Description:

Method - Sensor readings are taken at 1 second intervals by a Campbell Scientific Instruments (CSI) CR1000 data logger and converted from analog voltage to calibrated digital data, if necessary, by the CR1000 data logger program. Average, maximum, and minimum air temperature, wind speed and wind direction, and standard deviation of wind direction are calculated by the CR1000 datalogger program and stored in tables in the datalogger storage module at intervals of 60 minutes. Data are downloaded hourly from each remote site via a 900 MHz spread spectrum wireless radio network using CSI LoggerNet software. The data are parsed, quality-checked, documented and archived in the JRN-LTER Information Management office using data retrieval and parsing functions in the GCE Data Toolbox for MATLAB (https://gce-lter.marsci.uga.edu/lter/research/tools/data_toolbox.htm).

Abstract:

Collection of vertical wind profile data at four Jornada LTER wind tower sites, New Mexico, supports the environmental monitoring objectives of the Jornada LTER monitoring program. Measurements are aggregated at intervals of 5, 30, and 60 minutes and daily with the exception of Geomet Tower data that is aggregated at intervals of 5 minutes and daily. Data are downloaded hourly from each remote site via a 900 MHz spread spectrum wireless radio network. The met station variables measured include air temperature, wind direction, and wind speed.
