cops_nsod_ubtrass_wtpro_d: Sodar/RASS data of the sodar network (NSOD) operating during COPS 2007: station UBTRASS (Fussbach)

Eigenmann, Rafael; Foken, Thomas

Dataset
Summary
The Sodar/RASS device installed at Fussbach consisted of a DSDPA.90/64-Sodar and a DSDR3x7-1290MHz-RASS extension by METEK GmbH. It operated with an averaging period of 10 min. The minimum measurement height was 40 m and the maximum measurement height 700 m with a step width of 20 m in between.

Description
According to METEK (2000):
Accuracy of the wind speed (0-5 m/s): +/- 0.5 m/s
Accuracy of the wind speed (5-35 m/s) +/- 10 %
Accuracy of the wind direction (0.8 to 35 m/s): +/- 5 deg
Accuracy of the radial components: +/- 0.1 m/s
Accuracy of the standard deviation of the radial wind components: +/- 0.15 m/s

Because of traffic noise in the valley the maximal sounding height is often restricted to 300-400 m, except on some days on weekends.
