The NARSTO_SOS99NASH_WIND_PROFILER_DATA were obtained between May 19 and August 4, 1999. Wind components (u and v) were collected from five 915-MHz radar wind profilers. Availability of data for each day varies among the profilers, especially at the beginning and end of the project.The profilers and their locations were:Cornelia Fort Airpark (CFA) 36.19N, 86.70 W, 126 m MSLDickson (DIK) 36.25N, 87.37W, 225 m MSLEagleville (EGV) 35.73N, 86.60W, 228 m MSLGallatin (GAL) 36.33N, 86.40W, 171 m MSLCumberland (CMB) 36.38N, 87.65W, 136 m MSLThe number and location of range gates (vertical location of the wind measurements) was:CFA: 1st gate 146 m AGL, 64 gatesDIK, EGV, GAL: 1st gate 96 m AGL, 50 gatesCMB: 1st gate 165 m AGL, 64 gatesAll sites use 58 m range gates.Mixing depth (convective boundary layer height or zi) is given for daytime hours at each site as derived from a manual inspection of profiler reflectivity patterns. Data may be unavailable for a variety of reasons including rain, poorly defined boundary layer, or instrument outage. Data in late afternoon should be used with care even when available, since the afternoon transition is poorly understood.NARSTO (formerly North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone) is a public/private partnership, whose membership spans government, the utilities, industry, and academe throughout Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The primary mission is to coordinate and enhance policy-relevant scientific research and assessment of tropospheric pollution behavior; activities provide input for science-based decision-making and determination of workable, efficient, and effective strategies for local and regional air-pollution management. Data products from local, regional, and international monitoring and research programs are available.

The wind profile data described in this document were derived from the raw radiosonde data collected during FIFE by Dr. Wilfred H. Brutsaert during the summer and fall of 1987 and the late summer of 1989 The objective of this study was to calculate wind velocity and wind direction from successive horizontal positions of a radiosonde. These data have allowed the measurement of the atmospheric profiles of wind velocity and direction. The raw data have also been corrected for sensor delays and have been interpolated to a set of standard pressure levels. Successive horizontal positions of the radiosonde balloon in relation to its release point was used to calculate average wind speed and direction. The variables used to make these calculations were obtained from the FIFE Radiosonde Data. The balloon height was calculated by adding 10 m (i.e., the length of the string) to the height of the sonde. The horizontal distance of the sonde, together with the measured azimuth angle (also obtained from the FIFE Radiosonde Data), produced the horizontal position of the sonde. Finally, successive horizontal positions allowed the calculation of average wind velocity and direction over the interval. Note, as a result of the addition of 10 m for most flights, the height of the wind measurements in this data set is 10 meters higher than the companion values in the original FIFE Radiosonde Data.

**Overview** The dataset includes 15-minute average wind speed and direction records from 30 m to 330 m above ground level (AGL) in 10-m range gates. Data were collected by a Scintec MFAS wind profiler installed at the Decker Ranch in Oregon, about 4.4 km southeast of Kent, Ore., and are intended for validating WFIP2 model improvements. **Data Details** Instrument location: * N 45°09'54.42" (N 45.165117) * W120°39'20.87" (W 120.655799) Instrument clock and computer system time set to UTC. **Data Quality** The Scintec MFAS wind profiler instrument installed at the Decker Ranch is capable of measuring at heights up to 1000 m. For this study, the maximum height was set to 330 m. The instrument was oriented to true north, so no corrections to the wind direction should be made. Scintec wind profilers come with the APRun software package, which performs data collection and quality control (QC), among other functions. Version 1.46 of APRun was used in this study. The APRun manual states: *The primary results are checked against local signal quality criteria, combined signal quality criteria and two-dimensional spatial/temporal consistency tests. Any data that does not pass all quality control tests is devalidated and removed*. Devalidation means replacing the value with an error value, usually a series of ‘9’s, such as 99.99 or 999.99. Not all devalidated data are actually removed from the *.mnd files, so the user must filter them out. There are some error flags that indicate the type of error, but these are not included in the *.mnd files, and we have no access to them. Because QC already has been performed by APRun, our QC procedures consisted of removing samples with error values and performing a visual inspection of the data to see if larger patterns indicated any kind of problem. There are 623 gaps of two hours or less and 61 gaps of more than two hours. The longest gap is 15.31 days, from 2016-12-07 03:00Z to 2016-12-22 10:30Z. All gaps that exceed two hours are listed in file: Decker_Ranch_gaps.txt.

A total of seven data sets are used to derive the wind profile. These include two trajectory data files (probe and orbiter), three frequency data files including the 'quicklook' data set comprising 1/2 resolution frequency data from the orbiter CDS, and two data files containing the full tape recorder (SDR) data. Additionally, the probe descent trajectory data are supplemented with probe descent velocity/altitude/pressure/time data from the Atmospheric Structure Instrument. Finally, the Jovian atmospheric structure, based on measurements by the Atmospheric Structure Instrument, is included.

The NOAA NDBC SOS server is part of the IOOS DIF SOS Project. The stations in this dataset have winds data. Because of the nature of SOS requests, requests for data MUST include constraints for the longitude, latitude, time, and/or station_id variables.

**Overview** The data provide vertical mean profiles of wind and temperature. **Data Details** * Data averaged over an interval of 30 minutes. * Time stamp is included in each data file. * Location: John Day/Rufus Water Treatment Plant (45.690842,-120.745751). * Site Elevation: 62 m. **Data Quality** The only data quality procedure applied to this dataset is through the Sodar Operation Software (APRun). APRun calculates wind speed, temperature, and all other output data from the raw data received from the device server during measurement. Raw data contain raw received signal data (Fourier power spectra) obtained during measurement. The raw data are filtered, preprocessed, and averaged over one full averaging interval (30 minutes). Various corrections and filters are applied, such as ground clutter detection and removal. All signals of the different subcycles, measurement beams, and acoustic frequencies are decoded and combined according to a composition matrix (Composit Construction Table). A pattern recognition and fit procedure obtains primary results for wind components and signal quality scores. The primary results are checked against local signal quality criteria, combined signal quality criteria, and two-dimensional spatial/temporal consistency tests. Any data that do not pass all quality control tests are de-validated and removed, i.e., the output files contain error values (e.g., 99.999). For more details, refer to the *Sodar APRun Software Manual*. **Constraints** * The instrument is aligned to magnetic North. * Correction for the magnetic declination (15 degrees E) was not accounted for the data until March 12, 2016 and was corrected thereafter. This information is included in header of each data file under the field <>. This angle is erroneously left equal to zero in the data files until March 12. Data after March 12 have the correct antenna azimuth angle of 15 degrees. An example of both types of data files is provided. Note that the file header also includes the field <>, which is left to default value (i.e., zero [m]) for most of the dataset. This height value does not affect the actual data because it is only used by the APRun sodar software for visualization purposes.
