Steve Oncley and I are reviewing the measurement of sensor heights with the goal of perhaps reconciling ambiguities in the sensor heights.

Configuration 1 dimensions

The horizontal arrays sonic heights were measured relative to the mean of the heights agl of the reference marks for both the upwind (1.534 m) and downwind (1.53 m) arrays. The profile heights appear to have been measured relative to the height of the reference mark on the profile towere (1.52 m).

Configuration 2 dimensions

The reference mark height for all configuration 2 sensor heights was measured at the NE tower of the downwind horizontal array (goalposts) = 1.76m.   Sonic 1b at the NE end of the array was 1.91m+0.05m = 1.96 m above the reference mark and sonic 12b at the SW end of the array was 1.92m+0.05m = 1.97 m above the reference. Sonic spacing was 1.29 m.

The mean heights above the reference mark of the upwind sonics was 1.92m+0.05m = 1.97 m. The heights agl of the upwind reference marks or the profile reference marks do not appear to have been measured.
