ATST ISFF Netcdf Files

The ISFF ATST 5-minute NetCDF files contain statistics (means, variances and covariances) of all sampled variables.

Each file contains one day's data from 00:00 to 23:59 GMT. The file names are of the form "atst_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

Final Release, February 24, 2005

Final version of the ISFF 5-minute statistics are available for download in NetCDF and ASCII form. The wind data are in instrument coordinates; they have not been corrected for anemometer tilt or mean wind flow. See the project report for the anemometer azimuth directions. ISFF Project Report.

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