Data Access#
All of the data from CROCUS is open and freely available.
Waggle-hosted Data#
Most of the observations can be accessed using the Waggle cyberinfrastructure. We encourage people to check out the CROCUS node overview page, https://crocus.sagecontinuum.org/nodes. From there, you can select which location you are interested in, and find sample scripts to download the data. Data can be downloaded using the sage-data-client, with an example provided in the WXT sensor cookbook.
Globus Data Transfer#
For sensors not yet integrated into the Waggle cyberinfrastructure, we use Globus for data transfer.
Globus is a free software that allows to safely transfer data between two different points (endpoints). For example, the data from one instrument might be located on a computer at the observational site (one endpoint) and you would like to transfer that data to your local computer (another endpoint).
We encourage you to read over the how to get started guide from their documentation
Warning
The datasets have not been quality corrected or controlled. This is raw data.
Doppler LiDAR#
The Doppler LiDAR instrument collects information about the velocity and scattering properties across different times and distances from the instrument, which in most cases for this project, is the ground.
We encourage you read the documentation about a Doppler LiDAR similar to the one used for CROCUS on the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility page.

SODAR#
The SODAR (Sonic Detection and Ranging) wind profiler measures wind profiles and backscattered signal strength (from the ARM instrument guide).
We encourage you read the documentation about a Doppler LiDAR similar to the one used for CROCUS on the ARM user facility webpage.
