Metadata details
ASAC_1214_SODAR_Pole2000
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 1214
See the link below for public details on this project.
SODAR data (an acoustic radar) of atmospheric turbulence in inversion layer above South Pole during year 2000. Stored are the structure function and the horizontal and vertical wind speeds, as a function of height, every 30m from 20m to 890m. The data are stored as a tab delimited text file. The fields in this dataset are: Date CN2 Temperature Horizontal Wind Speed Vertical Wind Speed.
