Datasets


Turbulence from maize field (Mahomet, IL, July 2011) – this data set is now available on Zenodo:

Chamecki, M., & Isard, S. (2026). Turbulence profile (raw data) within and above a maize field from the Mahomet (IL) field measurements [Data set]. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20045165

This is a 7.5-hour statistically stationary raw turbulence data series obtained within and above a maize field (total of 5 measurement heights). The field experiment is described in detail by Gleicher et al. (2014)). The dataset is described in Chamecki (2013). The same dataset has been used in a number of papers, including Pan et al. (2014), Pan et al. (2014), and Pan and Chamecki (2016).
