**Overview** In support of the Wind Forecasting Improvement Project, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) deployed surface meteorological stations in Oregon. **Data Details** A PNNL computer is used as the base station to download the meteorological data acquired by the data logger at each site via a cellular modem. The data collected will be made available to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration each hour and used to support the short-term forecasting project by providing an independent evaluation of the added value of new data to meteorological forecasts. Each meteorological station consists of a solar-powered data acquisition system and wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and solar radiation sensors on a 3-m tower. Specifically, the stations are comprised of the following instruments and equipment: * Campbell Scientific CM6 Tripod * Campbell Scientific CR10X Measurement and Control System * R.M. Young 05106 Wind Monitor * Vaisala HMP45C Temperature and Humidity Probe * Vaisala PTB101B Barometric Pressure Sensor * Li-Cor LI200X Pyranometer * RavenXT Cellular Modem The data logger is used to sample, at 1-second intervals, the horizontal wind speed and direction at 3 meters above ground level (AGL); the air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and solar radiation at 2 meters AGL; and the logger temperature and power supply. The logger outputs the 1-minute averages of these measurements to final storage and power on the cellular modem, so the data can be retrieved and downloaded to a base station computer. The data are archived as 1-hour comma-delimited ASCII files (see "Table 2. Format of the WFIP2 Comma-delimited ASCII Data Files" in **wfip2-met-data.pdf**). All dates and times in the file names and data records are in UTC and denote the end of the 1-minute average. **Data Quality** Data for each primary measurement at every site are automatically plotted daily and reviewed about every three days. Instrument outages or events are reported with the Instrument and Model Data Problem Log at: .

**Overview** Basic meteorological measurements. **Data Quality** The Argonne National Laboratory Surface Meteorology Systems (MET) measurements collected at collocated radar wind profiler sites are visually inspected weekly for data outliers or instrument problems. Of note, the surface MET stations have had few data quality issues. The final dataset provided to the DAP will have all outliers or problematic data removed using automated and visual processes, including minimum/maximum checks, in a similar process as is used for ARM MET data. **Uncertainty** The uncertainties of the MET measurements are taken to be the accuracy of the individual measurements as specified by the instrument manufacturers. **Constraints** There are no constraints on MET measurements concerning acceptable wind directions or meteorological conditions.

**Overview** This dataset was produced from the raw sodar .txt files from the Jayton, TX site during the WFIP1 campaign. Quality control and formatting have been applied to transform the numerous raw files into a single file to provide user friendliness and improved wind resource characterization at this location. **Data Details** Location: 33.01, -100.98 Elevation: 707 m Output heights: Every 10 meters from 30 meters to 200 meters **Data Quality** Data from the raw files were filtered according to the following automated and manual procedures. Missing and rejected values were flagged as -999. High precipitation events as suggested by the vertical velocity values were subjected to quality control. If any vertical velocity value at any height for a given timestamp fell below a -1.5 m/s threshold, all variables at all heights at that timestamp were rejected. On a height-by-height basis, if the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for any of the u, v, or w wind components reached 10 or below, all variables for that height and timestamp were rejected. The raw files were also screened for nonphysical values such as wind speeds less than zero and directions outside 0-360 degrees. Finally, the data were visually examined for events of atypical sodar retrievals, such as excessive magnitudes in oscillations or periods of stagnancy.
