Abstract

Wind measurements derived from collocated VHF and UHF Doppler radar profilers were analyzed for statistical trends in vertical and horizontal variability. Nearly continuous-6-min data from 20 March through 30 April 1991 are analyzed and also compared with rawinsonde data. Consistency of wind data from these three sources is discussed.
