Underway wind and temperature data from the Tangaroa Automatic Weather Station (AWS)

These data contain wind and temperature data from the Tangaroa Automatic Weather Station (AWS)
with the following corrections:
1) Wind translated to the standard 10m height (versus the measurement height of 25m)

2) Wind has been calculated for neutral stability using the Fairall et al (2003)
TOGA COARE code (version 3.0).

3) A correction for airflow distortion around around the ship has been made following
Popinet, Smith, Stevens (2004) JAOT 21, 1575-1589

4) A seasurface skin temperature from M-AERI has been used in the COARE calculations
