Dataset
Vertical wind profile data from 15th April to 19th April 2004 measured by the University of Manchester 1290 mhz mobile wind profiler deployed on long term observations at Met Office Research Unit, Cardington, Bedfordshire
Abstract
The UK's Natural Environment Research Council's (NERC) National Centre for Atmospheric Sciences (NCAS) operates a suite of instrumentation to monitor the atmospheric dynamics and composition of the atmosphere. This dataset brings together all the long term routine observations made by NCAS instruments covering surface based instruments as well as remote sensing instruments such as radars and lidars. Some of the instruments may also be deployed elsehwere on field campaigns, for which the data will be available under the associated field campaign dataset. Links are also available to pages describing the instruments from which links to all data from that particular instrument can be found.
The dataset contains the following measurements:
Eastward wind velocity component
Northward wind velocity component
Upward air velocity
Direction the wind is from
Signal to noise ratio
Altitude of instrument above the ground
Longitude of instrument
Latitude of instrument
Spectral width
