COPS: vertical wind profiles from the Facility for Ground-based Atmospheric Measurements' (FGAM) 1290 MHz Degreane Mobile Wind Profiler located at Archern, Germany
Data were collected by the 1290 mhz wind profiler, previously known as the Aberystwyth radar, at Achern, Germany, in support of the Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study (COPS) Project from the 13th of June 2007 to the 17th of August 2007. The dataset contains measurements of wind speed, wind direction, signal to noise ratio and spectral width. Data are available in netCDF.
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

- Statement
- Data were collected by Emily Norton directly from the mobile wind profiler before checking and processing using the Degreane Horizon software supplied with the mobile wind profiler. The data were then prepared for archiving by Emily Norton using IDL scripts prepared for the task. The data were then delivered to the BADC for archiving.
