BOREAS AFM-06 BOUNDARY LAYER HEIGHT DATA
Get Data

Summary:

The BOREAS AFM-06 team from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Environment Technology Laboratory (NOAA/ETL) operated a 915 MHz wind/Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) profiler system in the Southern Study Area (SSA) near the Old Jack Pine (OJP) site. This data set provides boundary layer height information over the site. The data were collected from 21-May-1994 to 20-Sep-1994.

A guide document which includes more information about this data set can be found at https://daac.ornl.gov/daacdata/boreas/AFM/afm06ihd/comp/AFM06_ABLHt.txt.

ORNL DAAC maintains information on the entire BOREAS Project.
