Frøya wind data

<p>Herewith we present the dataset of wind measurements from a Skipheia meteorological station on the island of Fr&oslash;ya on the western coast of Norway, Trondelag.</p> <p>The site represents an exposed coastal wind climate with open sea, land and mixed fetch from various directions. UTM-coordinates of the Met-mast: 8.34251 E and 63.66638 N.</p> <p>Presented data were gathered between years 2009-2015;</p> <p>Hardware summary: 6 pairs of 2D sonic anemometers at 10, 16, 25, 40, 70, 100 m above the ground, independent temperature measurements at the same heights and near the ground; pressure and relative humidity from local meteostation (Sula, 20 km away).</p> <p>Database summary: approx. 180 000 of 10 min data samples of full data recovery. Wind speed and direction, temperature, pressure &amp; relative humidity (from a nearby meteostation).</p> <p>Data description: Two data files of different formats are available: a &lsquo;*.txt&rsquo; comma-separated values&nbsp;file and a native MATLAB &lsquo;*.mat&rsquo; file. Both contain the same data, starting with the first column:&nbsp;timestamp, wind speed&nbsp;(m/s, columns WS1-WS12) for 6 anemometers pairs, wind direction (360 deg, columns WD1-WD12) for 6 anemometers pairs, temperature at 0.2 m (AT0), temperatures at levels of wind measurement (deg C, AT1-AT6), data from nearby meteostation Sula, pressure (hPa, PressureSula), relative humidity (%, RelHumSula), temperature (deg C, TempSula), wind direction (360 deg, WDSula) and wind speed (m/s, WSSula). Columns have headers describing the data (first row).</p> <p>Detailed site description with wind climate description can be found in attached analysis: Site analysys.pdf.</p> <p>Additional information and analysis can be found in&nbsp;listed below works, using data from Fr&oslash;ya site, or nearby sites:</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>M&oslash;ller, M., Domagalski, P., and S&aelig;tran, L.
