FLOSS ISFF Netcdf Files

The FLOSS 5-minute Netcdf files contain means and higher moments from all sensors acquired by NCAR during FLOSS. Each file contains one day's data from 00:00 to 23:59 GMT. The file names are of the form "floss.YYMMDD.nc", where YYMMDD are the 2 digit year, month and day.

We recommend combining these to obtain more statistically-significant averages over longer time periods.

Status of Dataset

Field Project in Progress
The initial version of the FLOSS 5 minute data is available in netcdf form. The current day's file is updated hourly at 30 minutes after the hour from 6am to 10pm MST. These data are the initial values computed during the field project. No editing or quality control filters have been applied to these data.

More information on the Netcdf file format is available from Unidata.
