The Wangara Experiment was a joint project between CSIRO Division of Meteorological Physics and the Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology. The experiment took place in Hay, NSW (34.5S, 144.93E) from the 15th July to the 27th August, 1967. The dataset includes hourly pilot balloon winds up to 2km. Radiosonde temperatures and mixing ratios.Micrometeorological measurements. Surface observations of pressure, dry and wet bulb temperature, "weather" cloud type and amount and surface wind direction. Geostrophic winds at the surface, thermal winds and estimates of total acceleration.The data is provided in a comprehensive technical report ( ref (1971 )above and link below). The fluxes (latent and sensible) from the Wangara dataset have been recalculated by Bruce Hicks details can be found in the (ref (1981) above and link below). The recalculated fluxes are used in the Wangara2 datasets provided.
