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.
