The observations cumulate in around 10,000 reports a day, giving measurements of parameters such as the different components of wind velocity, and the standard deviations of vertical and horizontal wind speeds. The data are collected by observation stations worldwide and transmitted within the WINPRO message. Wind speeds are given to the nearest metre per second. Air temperature is measured in Kelvin. Precipitation amount is given in kilograms per metre squared. Air pressure is given in Pascals. Relative humidity is measured as a percentage.

"Metadata" are provided giving a full description of the content of the data. More information about the file format can be found on the BADC-CSV format page, which also contains two example files taken from the MetDB dataset. The file format for the wind profiler observations table, describes what each column in the data table represents. Ingest scripts run at the BADC every 20 minutes, converting the incoming files to the self describing BADC-CSV format, but neither the processed or raw data are placed into archive until the following day.
