Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP): Vertical wind profile data from the Universities' Facility for Atmospheric Measurement's (UFAM) 1290mhz Degreane Mobile Wind Profiler from Ashmansworth, Hampshire, UK
The University of Wales, Aberystwyth 1290 MHz mobile wind profiler, deployed as part of a suite of instrument from NCAS's Universities Facility for Atmospheric Measurements (UFAM), was sited at Ashmansworth for the duration of the Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP)'s pilot field campaign. The instrument was operated throughout the campaign, producing vertical profiles of wind speed and direction (horizontal and vertical components), signal to noise ratio and spectral width measurements 6th to 22nd July 2004 . This instrument is now referred to as the University of Manchester mobile wind profiler (man-radar-1290mhz).
