Data processing |
: |
|
Processing for averaging |
: |
Processing for Hourly Data: For 1991-2004: Data are submitted to WDCGG as hourly averages (of 6 10-minute values); with an error term , which is the standard deviation of the 10-minute values.
For 2005 onwards: Data are submitted to WDCGG as hourly averages (of 12 5-minute values); with an error term , which is the standard deviation of the 5-minute values.
|
Data flag |
: |
Data are flagged for baseline conditions (which are onshore winds, i.e. when speed > 5 m/s and wind between 150 and 210 degrees).
Sampling Conditions flag
=0: not specified
=1: not baseline
