Turbulent parameters at the Amundsen-Nobile Climate Change Tower (Svalbard)

Turbulent parameters are measured at the Amundsen-Nobile Climate Change Tower (CCT) by means of a Gill R3 sonic anemometer installed at 7.5 m from the ground since 2010. It measures the three components of the wind (u, v and w measured in m/s) and the sonic temperature (expressed in Kelvin degrees) at a rate of 20 Hz. These micro-meteorological measurements are complemented by standard meteorological ones at 4 levels: 2, 5, 10 and 33 m (acquisition time step 1 minute).
