NCAS Manchester Radar Wind Profiler 1290MHz Alvaiade Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/536.012

Summary
This dataset contains the wind profile, signal-to-noise ratio, and spectral
width data from the 1290 MHz radar wind profiler operated by the National
Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) Atmospheric Measurement Facility (AMF)
and located at the Perdigao operations center in Alvaiade, Portugal during the
Perdigao field project in 2017. The profiler is a Degreane Horizon 3-beam UHF
radar boundary layer wind profiler operating at 1290 MHz. This dataset
includes 1 minute and 15 minute wind data for both the low and high range in
NetCDF format as well as browse imagery.
