Surface Meteorological Station - ESRL Short Tower, Troutdale - Raw Data

**Overview**

A diversity of instruments are used to measure various quantities related to meteorology, precipitation, and radiation near the Earth?s surface. Typically, a standard suite of instruments is deployed to monitor meteorological state variables.

**Data Quality**

Data collected in real time are minimally processed with basic thresholding done on the software ingest layer. Normally, for post-case analysis, a fully processed secondary dataset is provided. Unwanted artifacts reflecting an instrument's failure may be present in the real-time datasets.

For b0 quality-controlled data, wind speed and direction data have been reviewed for potential icing events, and suspect data have been flagged.
