Vertical profiles of horizontal and vertical wind components as well as signal-to-noise (SNR) and spectal width measurements were collected at the Met Office Research Unit, Cardington, Bedfordshire, UK, between 14th April 2010 and 25th May 2011 as part of ongoing long term observations made by the NERC National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS). These data were collected by the NCAS Atmospheric Measreument Facility's (AMF) 1290 MHz Mobile Wind Profiler, owned and operated by the University of Manchester and previously known as the aber-radar-1290mhz at the time of these observations. The data are available at 15 minute intervals as netCDF files to all registered BADC users under the Open Government License.

The dataset contains the following measurements:

Eastward wind velocity component

Northward wind velocity component

Upward air velocity

Direction the wind is from

Signal to noise ratio

Altitude of instrument above the ground

Longitude of instrument

Latitude of instrument

Spectral width
