RICO ISFF Netcdf Files

The RICO 5-minute Netcdf files contain means and higher moments from all sensors on the ISFF met station during RICo. Each file contains one day's data from 00:00 to 23:59 GMT. The file names are of the form "rico_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.
