ASCOS-449WindProfilermom-01

ASCOS was an interdisciplinary expedition to the central Arctic on the icebreaker Oden from 1 August to 9 September 2008. The expedition focused on processes relating to cloud formation in the summer Arctic and included observations of marine biology and chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, physical oceanography, aerosol chemistry and physics, and meteorology.This zip_file contains moment data from the 449 MHz wind profiler on the Oden during ASCOS. Version 1 contains netcdf files of the ~ 4 minute moment data for each radar beam. It only contains data from the drift portion of the cruise (YD228-245; Aug. 15 ? Sep. 1). During the drift, various radar parameters were used between YD228 andYD234. The moment data for YD228, YD234 through YD243, and YD245 are calculated after the spectral data has undergone subjective hand-editing. The moment data for the other days (YD229-233, YD244) have not undergone the hand-editing, though it has been scrutinized and subjectiv
ely validated as ?usable? by an experienced engineer. The computation of the moments from the spectra uses a wavelet/multi-peak picking technique optimized to identify the wind signal in the spectra.
