These wind statistics data are collected continuously at the Tasmanian Earth Resources Satellite Station (TERSS) facility on Droughty Hill near Hobart on Tasmania's south east coast. Data collection began in September 1995 and continued to Dec 2011. Instrument Details: Location: latitude -42.9256, longitude 147.4206, ground elevation 150m, instrument 7 metres above ground. Manufacturer: R.M. Young Company. Traverse City, Michigan 49686 U.S.A. 616-946-3980 (http://www.youngusa.com) Model: Wind Monitor, model 05103V (See link to brochure). Data: Each line of data gives values reduced from samples collected every second over the preceding 10 minutes. Parameters include: Date; Time (UTC); Mean wind speed; Minimum wind speed; Maximum wind speed; Mean direction; Standard deviation of the previous 10 1-minute direction averages; Vector averaged wind speed; Vector averaged wind direction; Vector averaged "stress" in (m/s)**2; Vector averaged stress direction. The code that takes the one second readings and produces the 10 minute averages in the data files is available via the documentation links section). NOTE: This data is collected in order to assist in the daily management of the satellite dish. The instrument is located at a site to suit this particular purpose, not at a location that would provide the best statistics for other purposes.
