This dataset contains measurements from eight different Vaisala Triton Wind Profiler instruments. The Triton Wind Profiler is a sodar wind profiler that measures wind speed, direction, and turbulence intensity at heights from 30 m to 200 m above ground every 10 minutes. The eight Tritons are located at various sites around the WFIP2 study area.

A three-stage Varo image tube was used to obtain spectra of Pluto and Triton as well as comparison stars for the spectral region from 6800 to 9000 A, and the question of whether an adsorption feature near 8900 A indicates the presence of an atmosphere is considered. The feature, more definitive for Pluto than for Triton, occurs in a wavelength region which produces a steeply diminishing response in the image tube. If certain conditions are assumed, the pressure indicated by the feature is the pressure that can be expected from the equilibrium vapor pressure of a methane frost. If the absorption is spurious, the analysis indicates upper limits for methane on Pluto and Triton.
The surface reflectance, radius and geometric albedo of Triton are investigated. Image tube spectra of the reflectance of the satellite between 3200 and 7400 A are presented which indicate that the surface is composed mainly of rocky (non-icy) material, with violet absorption suggesting a composition similar to that of lunar fines, terrestrial igneous rocks and chondrites. Photometric/radiometric calculations based on measurements of the 20-micron thermal flux and the known visual magnitude of Triton reveal an upper limit of 5280 km to its diameter, and a lower limit of 0.19 to its geometric albedo. Computations of Rayleigh scattering in a potential inert atmospheric component are also presented which appear to preclude the presence of large quantities of nitrogen and noble gases on Triton.
Medium-resolution infrared (1-2.5 microns; Delta-lambda/lambda = 0.05) photometry of Triton, Titania, and Hyperion and medium-resolution (1.5-2.4 microns; Delta-lambda/lambda not greater than 0.01) spectroscopy of Triton are presented. Hyperion and Titania have spectra roughly similar to the laboratory spectrum of water frost, while the spectrum of Triton is inconsistent with the spectra of frosts likely to be major surface constituents.
