9
EA label:
WIND_MEASUREMENT_EQUIPMENT_TYPE
Concept definition:
Vertical profiles of the <
WIND
> are measured using Doppler radar operating in the
VHF
-
UHF
<<
EM_BAND
>> (30 megahertz-3 gigahertz) that determine the <<
WIND_SPEED
>> and <<
WIND_DIRECTION
>> by measuring the line-of-sight Doppler shift of scattered signals from refractive index fluctuations caused by turbulence; wind profiler.
