Fiber-optic Distributed Temperature Sensing and Wind Profiler Data during the Shallow Cold Pool Experiment

<p>The <a href="https://www.eol.ucar.edu/field_projects/scp">Shallow Cold Pool (SCP) experiment</a> was an <a href="https://www.eol.ucar.edu/observing_facilities/isfs">Integrated Surface Flux System (ISFS)</a> deployment conducted by the <a href="https://ncar.ucar.edu/">National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)</a>, the <a href="https://ceoas.oregonstate.edu/">College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheres (CEOAS)</a>, the <a href="https://bee.oregonstate.edu/">Department of Biological &amp; Ecological Engineering (BEE)</a>, and the <a href="https://ctemps.org/">Center for Transformative Environmental Monitoring Programs (CTEMPS)</a> of <a href="https://oregonstate.edu/">Oregon State University</a>, in a shallow gully within the Pawnee Grasslands, Coloradp, USA. The primary goal of SCP was to examine the formation and maintenance of common shallow cold pools. These cold pools had not been previously examined with turbulence measurements and very little was known about their dynamics and interaction with gravity waves and other submesoscale motions.</p> <p>SCP consisted of a dense network of ultrasonic anemometers with 19 units being installed at 1m above ground level (agl) and 8 being mounted at different heights on a 20m high tower. In addition, air temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentrations measurements were taken. This data can be found on <a href="https://data.eol.ucar.edu/project/SCP">https://data.eol.ucar.edu/project/SCP</a>.</p> <p>The unique observational technique featured in SCP was a cross-valley transect of the innovative active and passive fiber-optic distributed sensing technique (FODS) using a Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) unit (Model Ultima SR, Silixa, London, UK) as well as a ground-based acoustic wind profiler (SODAR, PCS2000-24, Metek GmbH, Elmshorn, Germany) in addition to the classical sonic anemometer network. The data archived in this submission publishes the FODS data and contains data for nine (9) nights between 16th November until 27th November between the hours of 19:00 and 05:00 MST (Local time). Details of the FODS setup are contained in <a href="https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/qj.3508?af=R">Pfister et al. (2019)</a> and <a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2015GL066729">Sayde et al. (2015</a>).<br> The fiber-optic cross-valley transect was 240m long and stretched from the North to the South shoulder of the gully and contained FODS observations at three heights (0.5m, 1m, 2m agl). By combining passive and active FODS, air temperatures and wind speeds were measured spatially continuously with a temporal and spatial resolution of 5s and 25cm, respectively. Air temperatures were measured with an unheated white-PVC jacketed optical glass fiber cable with an outer diameter of 0.9mm, while for the wind speed measurements an additional actively heated stainless-steel uncoated fiber-optic cable (1.3mm outer diameter) was deployed. Wind speeds were derived from the difference between the heated and unheated fiber-optic pair similar to a hotwire anemometer (<a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2015GL066729">Sayde et al. 2015</a>).<br> The acoustic wind profiler (Sound Detection and Ranging, SODAR) was installed at the gully bottom about 200m down the gully from the fiber-optic transect (between station A18 and A19) and measured with a 5-min resolution, a 10-m gate range, and 17000 Hz, see map in <a href="https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/qj.3508?af=R">Pfister et al. (2019)</a>. The observational range was between 10m to 320m agl. The data provided is the cluster data output of the wind profiler, which is quality-controlled by the internal data processing software. The published data include horizontal wind speed (speed), wind direction (direction), unrotated along-wind component (u_unrot), unrotated cross-wind component (v_unrot), and unrotated vertical-wind component (w_unrot).</p> <p>By combining the fiber-optic distributed sensing, the sensor network, and the wind profiler, we were able to investigate specific class of submeso-scale motions in detail. The submeso-scale motion occurred frequently during SCP, significantly impacted air temperature, wind speed and direction, as well as the near-surface turbulence within less than a few minutes. These motions are not described or categorized by existing boundary layer regimes or concepts. Consequently, further research on submeso-scale motions using continuous FODS measurements is necessary to better understand the stable boundary layer.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Pfister, L., Sayde, C., Selker, J., Mahrt, L., &amp; Thomas, C.

Low-level updraft intensification in response to environmental wind profiles

<p>Supercell storms can develop a "dynamical response" whereby upward accelerations in the lower troposphere amplify as a result of rotationally induced pressure falls aloft. These upward accelerations likely modulate a supercell's ability to stretch near-surface vertical vorticity to achieve tornadogenesis. This study quantifies such a dynamical response as a function of environmental wind profiles commonly found near supercells. Self-organizing maps (SOMs) were used to identify recurring low-level wind profile patterns from 20,194 model-analyzed, near-supercell soundings. The SOM nodes with larger 0–500 m storm-relative helicity (SRH) and streamwise vorticity (ω<sub>s</sub>) corresponded to higher observed tornado probabilities. The distilled wind profiles from the SOMs were used to initialize idealized numerical simulations of updrafts. In environments with large 0–500 m SRH and large ω<sub>s</sub>, a rotationally induced pressure deficit, increased dynamic lifting, and a strengthened updraft resulted. The resulting upward-directed accelerations were an order of magnitude stronger than typical buoyant accelerations. At 500 m AGL, this dynamical response increased the vertical velocity by up to 25 m s<sup>–1</sup>, vertical vorticity by up to 0.2 s<sup>–1</sup>, and pressure deficit by up to 5 hPa. This response specifically augments the near-ground updraft (the midlevel updraft properties are almost identical across the simulations). However, dynamical responses only occurred in environments where 0–500 m SRH and ω<sub>s</sub> exceeded 110 m<sup>2</sup> s<sup>–2</sup> and 0.015 s<sup>–1</sup>, respectively. The presence vs. absence of this dynamical response may explain why environments with higher 0–500 m SRH and ω<sub>s</sub> correspond to greater tornado probabilities.</p>

UW-Madison SSEC Lidar Wind Profiler for WiscoDISCO 21

<p>Data from a doppler lidar wind profiler at the Chiwaukee Prairie, WI air monitoring site.&nbsp;There are two datastreams: chiwaukee_wind_profiles_YYYYMMDD.cdf and chiwaukee_stare_YYYYMMDD.cdf due to the way the data are collected. The lidar was programmed to carry out a vertical wind profile every 5 mins. In between, the lidar is staring vertically in zenith-pointing mode. &nbsp;Therefore, there are two separate temporal resolutions.&nbsp;&nbsp;The wind_profiles files contain wind speed, wind direction, vertical velocity, and signal-to-noise ratio. The data were thresholded at SNR == 0.008 during the processing, so that worse SNRs than that are not included. The stare files contain data on backscatter, vertical velocity, and intensity, with better representation of the vertical coordinate.&nbsp;</p> <p>Vertical velocity is given in each of the two datastreams. There are two ways to get at the vertical velocity: &nbsp;one, as a direct measurement of the along-beam doppler velocity when it is in zenith mode, and two, as the residual in the calculation of the horizontal wind vector from the non-zenith stares at various azimuths. &nbsp;The latter is convenient in that it represents the w component of the wind on the same time/height grid as the u and v components, but it is&nbsp;more temporally coarse than the vertical stare measurement. &nbsp;</p> <p>The wind profiles are processed using code developed by Rob Newsom (Dept of Energy Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) and Dave Turner (NOAA Earth Systems Research Lab) and used operationally at the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) sites throughout the world.&nbsp;</p>

Hourly wind and solar generation profiles for every EIA 2020 plant in the CONUS

<p>Historical hourly time series of wind and solar generation profiles for every plant within the United States (US) that is part of the Energy Information Administration (EIA) 2020 dataset for the years 1980 through 2022. The data uses regional atmospheric climate model simulations and 2020 wind and solar power plant configurations across the entire contiguous US. This data is designed to be be aggregated to the Balancing Authority (BA) scale, or to other scales such as to the nodes of a production cost model which would allow the data to be used to perform reliability assessments and evaluations of technology innovation. There are ongoing efforts to extend this dataset for future climate projections, which additionally require the projection of future infrastructure under a wide range of uncertainties. This historical dataset is a benchmark for those projections and can be used to understand sensitivity to historical inter-annual variability, seasonality, and recent extreme events.</p> <p>For more information please refer to the <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-024-03894-w">Scientific Data paper</a> and the <a href="https://github.com/GODEEEP/tgw-gen">code repository</a>.</p> <p>The dataset consists of two components:</p> <ul> <li>Plant configuration files - The plant configuration files (<code>eia_solar_configs.csv</code>&nbsp;and <code>eia_wind_configs.csv</code>) contain all the plant data that is relevant to a generation model, derived from EIA 860 2020 data. Each row corresponds to a single logical plant. In some cases actual plants were split into two logical plants for modeling purposes.</li> <li>Generation data files - The generation data resides in the <code>solar/</code> and <code>wind/</code> directories and consists of one file per year. Each year contains an 8760 (hourly) profile of generation for every plant. The first column in each csv file is the datetime in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and the subsequent columns correspond to the <code>plant_code_unique</code> column in the configuration files. Data in these generation files is expressed as a capacity factor, which is generation divided by the plant capacity. To obtain the actual Megawatts (MW) generated, multiply the capacity factor for a plant by the value in the <code>system_capacity</code> column from the respective configuration file.</li> </ul> <p>This research was supported under the Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Program at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).&nbsp;PNNL is a multi-program national laboratory operated for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) by Battelle Memorial Institute under Contract No. DE-AC05-76RL01830.</p> <p>Version 1.1.0 adds bias corrected solar and extends the data through 2022</p> <p>Version 1.1.1 adds missing wind years 2021 and 2022</p> <p>Version 1.2.0 Extends the data through 2024</p> <p>Corresponding Author:</p> <ul> <li>Cameron Bracken, cameron.bracken@pnnl.gov</li> </ul>
