Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) field campaign, 2005: Vertical wind profile data from the Universities' Facility for Atmospheric Measurement's (UFAM) 1290mhz Degreane Mobile Wind Profiler from Linkenholt, Hampshire, UK

The University of Wales, Aberystwyth 1290 MHz mobile wind profiler, deployed as part of a suite of instrument from Universities' Facility for Atmospheric Measurements (UFAM), was sited at Linkenholt, Hampshire, UK, for the duration of the Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP)'s main 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 from 2nd June to 1st September 2005. This instrument is now referred to as the University of Manchester mobile wind profiler (man-radar-1290mhz).
