464 m asl.
Topographical setting in surrounding
Local wind direction with respect to synoptic setting
-
No appreciable wind to make a case.
Instrumentation
Summary from NCAR incl. Sensor heights, installation angles etc.
Air flow through infrastructure?
-
None
Visible tower motion?
-
Appears to be guyed pretty sturdy; no visible tower motion
Visible issues?
Adequate to capture possible sub-canopy flows, storage etc.?
-
Three levels of measurements.
-
First at 2 m. Second around 10 and a third at the tower height with ec measurements.
-
First two only has temperature and humidity.
-
First few levels can capture measurements inside the Aspen canopy and maybe the bushes/ baby conifers closer to ground
-
Tower seems to be in a tiny clearing. There is a path that moves up to the south.
