Microbarograph Stations - Differential Pressure [Nappo]

Summary

The ATDD-microbarograph network was designed to monitor the temporal and spatial characteristics of gravity waves and other coherent, i.e., non-turbulent atmospheric pressure perturbations. These perturbations are obtained as pressure differences between the static atmospheric pressure and a reference pressure as described in Section 3. Microbarographs were located at CASES-99 towers 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9. Differential pressure data were recorded continuously from 3 October to 31 October, 1999. Data sampling was at 10 Hz from which 10-second averages were calculated and recorded. For more information, please see the readme file.
