Air-flow distortion bias factors of the port and starboard anemometers of the Akademik Tryoshnikov estimated during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) legs 0-4 undertaken during the austral summer of 2016/2017.

Dataset abstract This data set contains the air-flow distortion bias factors of the port and starboard anemometers of the Akademik Tryoshnikov estimated during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) legs 0-4 undertaken during the austral summer of 2016/2017. The data are provided over overlapping wind direction secotors of 5(10) degree width stepped by 1(2) degrees relative wind direction. These bias factors can be used to correct the observed wind speeds for air-flow distortion on a sample by sample basis. For details see Landwehr et al.
