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.

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.

The CSIRO archive of Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station - Hourly Atmospheric Meteorology datasets. The Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station facility, located at the North/West tip of Tasmania (40° 41'S, 144° 41'E), is funded and managed by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, with the scientific program being jointly supervised with CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. The role of the station has been to observe global air quality through the measurements of atmospheric pollution such as carbon dioxide, ozone, halocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, particulates, precipitation chemistry as well as to monitor other parameters such as solar radiation and meteorological variables. This archive contains hourly measurements of Atmospheric Wind speed and direction at 10 & 50m heights, temperature, humidity, rainfall, atmospheric pressure, number of baseline minutes for the hour, CN counts and carbon dioxide concentrations for the period from Jan 1976 until the present. Variable data is available as both an hourly averaged annual file or as a single (all years concatenated) file in either in Ascii (.dat) or binary (.bin) file format, including both Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) time and Co-ordinated Universal Time (UTC=AEST-10hr, also called GMT) time and date formats within each file.
