This dataset contains a compilation of 30-minute estimates of preliminary processed turbulent fluxes for one day.
This dataset contains raw time series of fast response wind and virtual sonic temperature data (nominal 20Hz) for calculation of the turbulent fluxes; measured at 10 mAGL.
This dataset contains 30-minute estimates of preliminary processed turbulent fluxes and relevant statistics.

These data include raw scanning Doppler lidar measurements from the deployment of the NREL Halo XR+ (s/n 235) at WFIP3's BARG. The raw measurements include uncalibrated beam azimuth angles, radial velocity, backscatter, signal to noise ratio per each line of sight, and range-gate. Note: the measurements have NOT been corrected for the motion of the barge.
This dataset contains raw data from NREL's scanning lidar performing vertical profiles at the BLOC site. This lidar was Halo XR #216 through February 24, 2025, Halo XR #217 from February 24, 2025 through April 17, 2025, and again Halo XR #216 after that.
Wind profiles from ground-based Doppler lidar at the BLOC site were calculated for each 6-beam profiling scan (one point every ~20 s). The wind speed retrieval uses the Sathe et al., 2015, paper in the references. This lidar was Halo XR #216 through February 24, 2025, Halo XR #217 from February 24, 2025 through April 17, 2025, and again Halo XR #216 after that.
The 10-min wind statistics from ground-based Doppler lidar at the BLOC site were calculated using the Sathe et al., 2015, paper in the references. This lidar was Halo XR #216 through February 24, 2025, Halo XR #217 from February 24, 2025 through April 17, 2025, and again Halo XR #216 after that.
This dataset contains processed data from NREL's scanning lidar performing vertical profiles at the BLOC site. This lidar was Halo XR #216 through February 24, 2025, Halo XR #217 from February 24, 2025 through April 17, 2025, and again Halo XR #216 after that.
This dataset contains processed data from the Halo XR scanning lidar at the BLOC site used to perform vertical stares.
This dataset contains vertical profiling lidar data from the AWAKEN H site. This is a ZephIR-300.
These data are scanning Doppler lidar measurements from the deployment of a HALO XR at AWAKEN site H. The measurements include calibrated beam azimuth angles, radial velocity, backscatter, signal to noise ratio per each line of sight, and range-gate.
This dataset contains raw data (lv1) from the microwave radiometer (MWR) operated by NOAA Physical Science Laboratory on Nantucket Island for WFIP3.
This dataset contains daily files with thermodynamic profiles retrieved with the optimal estimation physical retrieval TROPoe (Turner and Löhnert 2014; Turner and Blumberg 2019; Turner and Löhnert 2021). The profiles are retrieved every 10 minutes from instantaneous brightness temperature measurements at 35 channels observed with a microwave radiometer MP3000A operated by NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory on Nantucket Island for WFIP3. Additional input data in TROPoe are cloud base height from a collocated ceilometer operated by NOAA GML and temperature, water vapor mixing ratio, and pressure from a sensor attached to the MWR housing. In addition to these temporally resolved input data, TROPoe requires an a priori dataset (prior) that provides mean climatological estimates of thermodynamic profiles and specifies how temperature and humidity covary with height as an input (for details see, e.g., Djalalova et al. 2022). The prior is a key component of the retrieval and provides a constraint on the ill-posed inversion problem. A monthly prior was computed from operational radiosonde launches at Upton, NY.
This dataset contains daily files with thermodynamic profiles retrieved with the optimal estimation physical retrieval TROPoe (Turner and Löhnert 2014; Turner and Blumberg 2019; Turner and Löhnert 2021). The profiles are retrieved every 10 minutes from instantaneous radiances observed with an Atmospheric Sounder Spectrometer by Infrared Spectral Technology (ASSIST, Rochette et al. 2009) operated by NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory on Nantucket Island for WFIP3. The spectral bands used in the retrieval are in the wavenumber range from 612 - 905.4 cm-1 and are specified in Turner and Löhnert (2021).

The spectral bands used in the retrieval are in the wavenumber range from 612 - 905.4 cm-1 and are specified in Turner and Löhnert (2021). Radiances are noise-filtered but not averaged in time to minimize errors due to non-uniform clouds.
