Vertical wind profile

Description


Radar product with the vertical profile of the wind estimated from Doppler measurements above the weather radar station. For each height level this product gives a set of parameters describing the wind field.

Parameters

Vertical spacing: height difference between successive samples in m
Vertical range: range of considered altitudes (lowest, upper) in 0.1 km a.s.l.
Volume shape: Cylindrical, Conical, ...
Quality information: (OK or suspect or not-applicable or missing)
Product data quantity for each height level: horizontal and vertical velocity in 0.1 m/s and direction in degrees

Notes

• Detailed information is present in documents OPERA 22-1/99 and 22-2/99. "
• When the vertical stratification is not regular the sequence of the used heights is to be specified. "
• The volume shape can optionally be omitted.
