VORTEX2: Straka Mobile Mesonet

Summary

This dataset contains the Mobile Mesonet data collected by Straka of OU. Each file contains the mobile mesonet data for each vehicle (P8) for one day. Files ending in .qcd have been quality controlled. Files ending in .qcd.bc have been quality controlled and also have had biases removed via instrument intercomparisons. To learn more about the intercomparisons, see the readme file and see the VORTEX2 data collected by the NSSL-PSU Mobile mesonet.

IMPORTANT NOTE: DATASET UPDATED ON 2/1/2011 TO CORRECT AN ERRONEOUS OFFSET TO THE WIND DIRECTION.
