HPWREN large met data set
A request from an outside researcher looking for access to 1 Hz wind data from HPWREN meteorological sensors led to the creation of a large downloadable data set across many years. For about two decades HPWREN had already made its sensor data from cameras and met stations publicly available, but the met data was not easily accessible in bulk on HPWREN web pages. That data, as collected from HPWREN's Vaisala WXT5xx weather transmitters, includes second-by-second wind speed and direction, 10 second temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure, as well as up to 10 second rain and hail information, and in some cases extends back to 2008.
