TY - DATA AB - **Overview** This is the data collected during the validation period. The buoy is scheduled to be deployed near Martha's Vinyard in mid-January 2020. The Leosphere Windcube 866 lidar systems output 5 different compressed data files. Compression is explained below. **Data Details** The Windcube data is compressed via 7-zip: WLS866-24_2020_01_15__00_00_00.gyro.7z WLS866-24_2020_01_15__00_00_00.rtd.7z WLS866-24_2020_01_15__00_00_00.sta.7z WLS866-24_2020_01_15__00_00_00.stdrtd.7z WLS866-24_2020_01_15__00_00_00.stdsta.7z "sta" files are 10 minute averaged data. "rtd" files are ~1 second data. "gyro" files are buoy movement data. 7z is the new archive format, providing high compression ratio. The main features of 7z format: Open architecture High compression ratio Strong AES-256 encryption Ability of using any compression, conversion or encryption method Supporting files with sizes up to 16000000000 GB Unicode file names Solid compressing Archive headers compressing 7z has open architecture, so it can support any new compression methods. https://www.7-zip.org/7z.html AU - Newsom, Rob AU - Pekour, Mikhail AU - Gorton, Alicia DB - Open Energy Data Initiative (OEDI) DP - Open EI | National Renewable Energy Laboratory DO - 10.21947/1593126 KW - a2e KW - atmosphere to electrons KW - wind KW - weto KW - eere KW - buoy KW - Offshore Wind Energy - Buoy Lidar Project KW - Lidar KW - Massachusetts KW - Leosphere Windcube 866 (130) KW - Raw Data KW - z04 KW - lidar KW - 00 LA - English DA - 2019/12/11 PY - 2019 PB - Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) T1 - Lidar - Massachusetts - Leosphere Windcube 866 (130) - Raw Data UR - https://doi.org/10.21947/1593126 ER -
