Grenzach

The station "Grenzach" is located 5 km East of Basel
inside the valley of the Rhine-River. The turbulence
instruments were operated by the University of Basel on a 110m TV / Radio Tower in 28m height. Full radiation component and soil measurements were carried out at tower base. Additionally a SODAR was operated.
