BLOC Site - Radar Wind Profiler / Derived Data Reformatted
A radar wind profiler measures the Doppler shift of electromagnetic energy scattered back from atmospheric turbulence and hydrometeors along 3-5 vertical and off-vertical point beam directions. Back-scattered signal strength and radial-component velocities are remotely sensed along all beam directions and combined to derive the horizontal wind field over the radar. These data are typically sampled and averaged hourly or sub-hourly (15-min) and usually have 60-m and/or 100-m vertical resolutions up to 4 km for the 915 MHz system. Both a high-resolution, lower height coverage mode and a low-resolution, higher height coverage mode are used to collect the data.

NANT Site - Surface Meteorological Station / Derived Data Reformatted
A diversity of instruments are used to measure various quantities related to meteorology, precipitation, and radiation near the Earth’s surface. Typically, a standard suite of instruments is deployed to monitor meteorological state variables.
