A Vaisala Radian LAP3000 1290 MHz wind profiler has been permanently located at the Met Office's site at the Dunkeswell airfield near Honiton in East Devon, and has been operational since February 1999. This was one of two such profilers deployed in the UK at that time as part of the Met Office's UK "Operational Upper Air Network." Operating at 1290 Mhz, Dunkeswell, like the other sites, is configured to operate in two modes. The low mode provides high resolution wind information up to 2km above the surface, while the high mode, with 210m resolution can see up to 8km under appropriate conditions.. The site is located at 50.87 N, 3.23 W and a height of 253 m above mean sea-level and has a WMO id of 03840. It has a beam angle of 15.5 degrees and is operated with an averaging period of 30 minutes.
