TEAMx-PC22 (TEAMx pre-campaing 2022) – GeoSphere Austria Doppler wind lidar data

<strong>ABSTRACT</strong> GeoSpere Austria operated a Doppler lidar (METEK Wind Ranger 200) during the TEAMx pre-campaign 2022 (TEAMx-PC22) from August 17, 2022 to October 3, 2022 next to the meteorological station at Kufstein, Austria. The wind lidar data from this campaign is provided here. Standard meteorological data is available on the GeoSphere Austria data hub. The aim of TEAMx-PC22 was to test new instruments, new instrument configurations and new measurement sites to support the planning of the main TEAMx observational campaign (TOC) in 2024/2025. More details about TEAMx can be found at http://www.teamx-programme.org as well as in Serafin et al. (2020) and in Rotach et al. (2022). <strong>DATA SET DESCRIPTION</strong> The windlidar is operated at Kufstein next to the meteorological station (12.1628°E 47.5753°N 490m asl). 1 VAD scan is measured per second, 100 radial measurements per VAD scan. Provided are daily NetCDF data sets, so-called “averaged files”, i.e. 10min averaged profiles calculated from the instantaneous profiles provided by the operational software of the instrument. <strong>Description of variables:</strong> lat Latitude lon Longitude alt Altitude height Measuring height pitch Tilt towards north arrow roll Tilt clockwise looking along north arrow heading Azimuth alignment (should be zero) time Time stamp (seconds since 01.01.1970 00:00 UTC).
