wind profiler radar
A wind profiler radar is an advanced instrument that measures wind speed and direction at different heights in the atmosphere. It works by sending out radio waves into the sky, which reflect off tiny particles like raindrops or dust. By analyzing these reflections, the radar can determine how the wind is moving at various altitudes. This information helps meteorologists forecast weather, track storms, and study atmospheric conditions. The system provides real-time, vertical profiles of wind, offering valuable insights for aviation, weather prediction, and climate research.
