Instrument : Wind Profiler Demo Network (WPDN)
Instrument Categories
Atmospheric Profiling
General Overview
Data from an array of wind profilers are provided from NOAA's Forecast Systems Laboratory (FSL) Demonstration Division . These data include wind profiles, spectral moments, RASS temperature profiles, GPS, and surface observations.
