MP4 NCAR/EOL MISS 915 MHz Profiler 30 Minute Consensus Winds and Moments and Surface Meteorology Data

Project:

PECAN

Summary

This dataset contains 30 minute NIMA consensus wind and moments data measured by the NCAR/EOL 915 MHz profiler located on the PECAN Mobile PISA 4 (MP4) NCAR/EOL MISS that moved throughout the central United States. These data are in netcdf format. This dataset also includes 30 second surface meteorology observations from the NCAR/EOL Integrated Sounding System (ISS) Vaisala WXT 520 weather sensor that was also located on MP4. These surface data have not been quality controlled and are provided in daily tar files.
