Please note that the wind readings have been much lower than they should be since approx. 06-Oct.  Observing the anemometer it does not appear to be spinning freely or as fast as it should.  According to the plot, it seems to have stopped as of 0400 UTC 14 Oct 2019.

Time: UTC
Temperature: C
Wind: Kts
Pressure: Mb

Arrival Height's weather system is located atop the Arrival building near a 
spectrometer:

"The longitude/latitude and elevation for that instrument {the spectrometer}
 (flat on the rooftop) were
 77 degrees, 49 minutes, 46.58937 seconds South
166 degrees, 39 minutes, 45.97810 seconds East
and 623.91 ft/190.170 m (MSL)

The anemometer is 36.42ft/11.10m away from the spectrometer (at a horizontal angle of 215.59 degrees from North) and is at an elevation of 633.76ft/193.17m"

The Station is a Davis Weather Monitor II

The accuracy of the wind sensor/Anemometer: 5% at 6, 12, 25, 40, and 75 mph (3,
5, 11, 18, and 34 m/s) and is approximately 17 feet off the ground, about 5 feet
 above the building.

The time of the data is labeled in UTC.

Note: The anemometor stopped working and was reporting 0.0 for a period of time after a big storm due to the catastrophic failure of the tower on which the 
instrument was mounted.   

Note: In October 2012, the wind speed units change from meters per second to knots.  Knots continue to be used in all files following that change.

Questions or comments should be directed to amrc@ssec.wisc.edu
