Title: Surface and Tower Meteorological Instrumentation at Atqasuk (METTWR2H) Handbook

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1019544· OSTI ID:1019544

The Atqasuk meteorology station (AMET) uses mainly conventional in situ sensors to measure wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, dew point, and humidity mounted on a 10-m tower. It also obtains barometric pressure, visibility and precipitation data from sensors at or near the base of the tower. In addition, a chilled mirror hygrometer (CMH) is located at 1 m for comparison purposes. Temperature and relative humidity (RH) probes are mounted at 2 m and 5 m on the tower.
