Polluted Troposphere TORCH2: Vertical wind profile data from the Universities' Facility for Atmospheric Measurement's (UFAM) 1290mhz Degreane Mobile Wind Profiler deployed at the Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory

The University of Wales, Aberystwyth, 1290mhz mobile wind profiler - now referred to as the University of Manchester mobile wind profiler, was operated at the Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory during the 2nd field campaign of the Tropospheric ORganic CHemistry Experiment (TORCH) Project. The TORCH project was part of the Natural Environmental Research Council's (NERC) Polluted Troposphere research programme. The field campaign ran from 22nd April to 28th May 2004, during which period the mobile wind profiler obtained vertical profiles of the horizontal and vertical wind components. For each signal beam profiles of the signal to noise (SNR) ratio and spectral widths were also taken. The data consist of files in the netCDF binary format and plots in PNG format. Data are available to all BADC registered users under the Government Open Data licence.
