DATA DETAILS
February 20, 2007 through March 21, 2007:
The anemometer tower was installed on February 20, 2007, but the installation was short lived because the tower was knocked down on March 21, 2007, either by cattle, high winds, or some other reason. The tower was subsequently removed from the site and not reinstalled.
All data was collected using an NRG #40 Anemometer and NRG #200P Wind Vane mounted on a tilt-up tower located on the landowner's property at a height of 20m. This equipment fed into an NRG Wind Explorer data logger. However, little is known about the site as none of the data plugs were sent to the University of North Dakota for analysis. Only two data plugs were found for the site. The data plug files and text versions of these files are given below.

It is important to note that these are the raw files without any compensation for offset. It is also important to note that the temperature was not recorded during this period.
An analysis of the data using Windographer will be posted soon.
