NCAR ISS2 915 MHz DBS Wind Profiler Data [NCAR/EOL]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/92.104

Summary
NCAR/EOL operated three 915 MHz boundary layer wind profiler radars at ISS
(Integrated Sounding System) sites at T-REX. These radars detect scattering
from clear-air refractivity gradients (such as those due to turbulence and
inversions) and from precipitation. Two of the three wind profilers were
standard DBS (Doppler Beam Swinging) systems, one of which provided the data
for the accompanying data set. The DBS profilers at T-REX were designated ISS2
and MISS and produced wind measurements every 30 minutes and also made a
5-minute RASS profile at 30-minute intervals. This dataset includes ISS2
winds, moments, and rass data.
