CAP: Vertical wind profile data from the Facility for Ground-based Atmospheric Measurements' (FGAM) 1290 MHz Degreane Mobile Wind Profiler located at the Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory
The Coastal Air Pollution (CAP) field campaigns in 2009 and 2010 (CAP-2009 and CAP-2010 respectively) sought to investigate the impact of local meteorology on coastal air quality and the structure and evolution of the coastal boundary layer.
This dataset contains vertical profiles of horizontal and vertical wind components as well as signal-to-noise (SNR) and spectal width measurements which were collected at the Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory, Norfolk, between September 2009 and April 2010. These data were collected by the Facility for Ground-based Atmospheric Measurements' (FGAM) 1290 MHz Mobile Wind Profiler, owned and operated by the University of Manchester and formerly known as the aber-radar-1290mhz. The data are available at 15 minute intervals as netCDF files to all registered British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC) users.

- Statement
- Data were collected by Emily Norton directly from the mobile wind profiler before checking and processing using the Degreane Horizon software supplied with the mobile wind profiler. The data were then prepared for archiving by Emily Norton using IDL scripts prepared for the task. The data were then delivered to the BADC for archiving.
