Acid Deposition Processes Project: Vertical wind profile data from the Facility for Ground-based Atmospheric Measurements' (FGAM) 1290 MHz Degreane Mobile Wind Profiler located at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology's Auchencorft Moss field site, Edinburgh
Vertical profiles of horizontal and vertical wind components as well as signal-to-noise (SNR) and spectal width measurements were collected at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology's (CEH) Auchencorft Moss field site in January and February 2007 as part of the DEFRA funded Acid Deposition Processes Project. These data were collected by the University of Manchester Degreane Mobile Wind Profiler Radar - formerly knonw as the aber-radar-1290mhz - at 15 minute intervals and are available as netCDF files to all registered BADC users.
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.
