CME04 ISFF Netcdf Files
The CME04 5-minute Netcdf files contain means and higher moments from all sensors acquired by NCAR during CME04. Each file contains one day's data from 00:00 to 23:59 GMT. The file names are of the form "cme_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
Third QC Release, March 16, 2005
ISFF 5-minute statistics are available for download in NetCDF and ASCII form. All post-processing steps and quality checks described in the CME04 WWW page have been applied, including the fast-response co2 data processing. Slow-response CO2 measurements from Hydra have been processed separately and are available here.
Update from the Feb. 3 release is a bug fix which inadvertently threw out data for the water-vapor fluxes at 2m and all fluxes from 17m and 30m before the kryptons were cleaned the first time.
Updates from Dec. 20 release:
- Sonic anemometer data (including fluxes) are now in geographic coordinates.
- Derived values (including sensible and latent heat and corrected net radiation) have been added.
- Configuration errors with some of the sonic anemometers have been compensated for.
- Obviously bad sonic anemometer data have been removed.
