DATA DETAILS
September 12, 2009:
The anemometer tower was installed on September 12, 2009. The site is located on the southern end of the Ouray County fairgrounds, just east of U.S. Hwy 550. This site is located in a valley floor, with mesas and mountains on all sides. Winds are expected to come down the valley from Ouray, which is southeast of the site. The winds are expected to be strong and at times violent from this direction.
All data is collected using an NRG #40 Calibrated Anemometer and NRG #200 Wind Vane mounted on a tilt-up tower located at a height of 20m. The certification for the anemometer is as follows:
