Datasets for: Generalizing Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory (1954) for Complex Atmospheric Turbulence, Stiperski and Calaf 2023, PRL

Scaling variables for the generalized flux-variance scaling relations that include turbulence anisotropy. Dataset is a companion to the manuscript  Stiperski, I., Calaf, M., 2023: Generalizing Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (1954) for complex atmospheric turbulence. Physical Review Letters, 130 (12), 124001,   https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.124001

The dataset contains the turbulence statistics from 13 datasets:  AHATS, Cabauw, CASES-99, METCRAX II campaign (NEAR  and RIM towers), T-Rex campaign (Central tower - TRexC, West tower - TRexW) and i-Box measurement network (CCS-VF0 tower - i-Box0, CS-SF1 tower - i-Box1, CS-NF10 tower - i-Box10, CS-NF27 tower - i-Box27, CS-MT21 tower - i-BoxTop, im Hinteren Eis tower - imHint).

Data are organized in csv files for each datasets and only contain high quality (for applied criteria see the Supplemental Material of the companion paper, https://journals.aps.org/prl/supplemental/10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.124001) data with 30 min averaging for unstable stratification and 1 min for stable stratification. Since the data were used for scaling, there is no reference to time, but the measurement height is provided as an additional variable. 

Meaning of variables:

zeta - z/L where z is height above ground and L is the local Obukhov length

SigmaU - $\overline{u'u'}/u_*$ scaled standard deviation of streamwise velocity, where $u_*$ is the local friction velocity

SigmaU - $\overline{v'v'}/u_*$ scaled standard deviation of spanwise velocity

SigmaU - $\overline{v'v'}/u_*$ scaled standard deviation of surface-normal velocity

SigmaT - $\overline{T'T'}/T_*$ scaled standard deviation of sonic temperature, where $T_*$ is the local temperature scale

SigmaEpsU - scaled dissipation rate of the streamwise velocity

SigmaEpsW - scaled dissipation rate of the surface-normal velocity
