Abstract
Vertical profiles of signal to noise ratio (SNR) and winds measurements from the STFC Radar Wind Profiler unit 1 deployed at Chilbolton Atmospheric Observatory. These observations were taken as part of the Wessex convection (WesCon) experiment - Observing the Evolving Structures of Turbulence (WOEST)between 202360110 to 20230928.
Data products from this deployment include: snr-winds
