The following instruments are displayed on the COPE time line: Blimp - UW/APL Blimp flights. Additional data are available from Vahid Hesany on the locations, altitude and operating modes during the blimp flights. NOAAxRadar - NOAA/ETL X-band radar operated from the hillside. NOAAkRadar - NOAA/ETL K-band radar operated from the hillside. Ophir - ETL Ophir hygromter, used primarily to determine the latent heat flux. The data quality flag has been set to '0' as this data has not been examined for quality. (Fairall/Hare) Sonic 2/3/4 - The sonics were mounted off the port boom at heights of (approx) 7m (#2), 12.8m (#3), 16.5m (#4). The data quality is quite good in general for these instruments, but those periods when the wind may be blowing from FLIP or the boom/mast structure have not been segregated. The turbulent flux products from these instruments are in the process of being computed. (Fairall/Hare) ETL RT Sonic - ETL sonic at 17 m height measuring wind speed, direction and momentum fluxes. Low quality means winds from 80 to 100 deg so instrument is in the wake of Flip. These data were analyzed in real time, with only average bulk parameters being recorded. This wa done in parallel to the full rate data acquisition in the Sonic 4 data, but problems with the full-rate data acquisition left this as the only flux data for some portions of the experiment. (Fairall) ETL Bulk Flux - ETL radiometers measuring heat fluxes based on the real-time bulk processing (Fairall) MET Buoy - IOS Met buoy moored 10 km offshore (Trevorrow) JHU Radar - APL X-band Doppler radar mounted 19.5 m high on Flip (Chapman/Gotwols). Low quality means wind speed < 4 m/s, a rough guide to when SNR is too low to use data from the far range bins. JHU Video - APL 8 mm video mounted on radar antenna (Chapman/Gotwols) UW Scatterometer - UW/APL scatterometer. None of the scatterometer data has been analyzed in detail. The quality flag is set to high for these data since there were no obvious problems with the instrument during the experiment. Note that the attenuation was changed at date 265.1806. (Wick/Jessup/Hesany) Scan Laser SG - WHOI Scanning Laser Slope Gauge. In the SLSG file, processing=1 means we have calculated the directionally averaged wavenumber spectrum at ~ 1.5 minute intervals. Data quality=0 means that the data is questionable. It may be because the wind direction is unfavourable or because we have problems due to vibration which we haven't tried to filter out yet. There are some periods where quality=1, processing=0. These are the times when the wind direction is good and the speed is outside the vibration range so that we are almost sure the data will be good. Wire WG Array - The wavewire file ("ww_overview") has the times that the instrument was on. Data quality and processing flags are both zero since the data have not yet been analyzed. ETL analysis of these data does indicate that clipping at extreme amplitudes was quite common in the data, reducing their utility somewhat. UW Laser WG - Laser wave gauge mounted on the port boom. A low quality flag indicates that there were many obviously anomalous measurements during that period. A smaller number of questionable measurements may still appear in the other periods.(Wick/Jessup) UW Bulk Temp - Near-surface temperature measurements measured from the face boom. (Wick/Jessup) UW IR Skin Temp - Sea surface skin temperatures from the UW/APL boom-mounted radiometer. The quality flag indicates whether wake effects from Flip could affect the measurements - high indicates no wake problem, low indicates wake effects are possible. (Wick/Jessup) Inv. Echo Sound - IOS Inverted echo sounder moored 10 km offshore (Trevorrow) CODAR - The CODAR data are available but are listed as unanalyzed since they have not yet been compared with other data sets. (Harlan, ETL) Flip Motion Pak - Six degree of freedom motion sensing package mounted to Flip. The motion-pak data may be of interest to those on FLIP whose instruments are affected by platform motion. The measured fields in this data set includes 3-accelerations and 3-rates-of-rotation. This information is crucial to the determination of the turbulent fluxes from the sonic data and is currently being processed. (Fairall/Hare) Flip GPS - Differential GPS for Flip (Stanton) Seacat - Seacat CTD at 4 m depth (Stanton) Loose Profiler - Loose tethered microstructure profiler with CTD and current shears (Stanton) BADCP - Broadband acoustic Doppler current profiler, downward looking at 15 m (Stanton) Turb Frame - Turbulence frame with five shallow current sensors (Stanton) Therm. PODs - Three thermistor pod moorings 10 km offshore (Trevorrow) ETL IW Obs - Times of IWs approaching Flip as noted by the ETL shore-based radar (Kropfli) Question regarding the time lines, or this document, can be addressed to Rick Chapman at chapman@tesla.jhuapl.edu or tel (301) 953-6000 x4209.
