Lidar - Massachusetts - Leosphere Windcube 866 (130) - Raw Data

Overview

This is the data collected during the validation period. The buoy is scheduled to be deployed near Martha's Vinyard in mid-January 2020.

The Leosphere Windcube 866 lidar systems output 5 different compressed data files. Compression is explained below.

Data Details

The Windcube data is compressed via 7-zip:

WLS866-24_2020_01_15__00_00_00.gyro.7z
WLS866-24_2020_01_15__00_00_00.rtd.7z
WLS866-24_2020_01_15__00_00_00.sta.7z
WLS866-24_2020_01_15__00_00_00.stdrtd.7z
WLS866-24_2020_01_15__00_00_00.stdsta.7z

"sta" files are 10 minute averaged data.
"rtd" files are ~1 second data.
"gyro" files are buoy movement data.

7z is the new archive format, providing high compression ratio.

The main features of 7z format:
Open architecture
High compression ratio
Strong AES-256 encryption
Ability of using any compression, conversion or encryption method
Supporting files with sizes up to 16000000000 GB
Unicode file names
Solid compressing
Archive headers compressing
7z has open architecture, so it can support any new compression methods.
