Wind Profiler Data Products Application

Introduction:

WindPro-1.0 is a MS-WindowsTM based software application for all data processing functions required to generate Wind Data Products in a Wind Profiler application. This software accepts the processed radar echo samples from any external radar front end unit and performs all data processing functions on the time domain data to produce various data products such as moments of the doppler spectra, wind motion vectors and other wind profile parameters. WindPro-1.0 allows storage of the data products on local or network based storage devices in a variety of formats.

Typical Applications :

  • Wind Profiler Radar, Doppler Weather Radar, Cloud Radar Systems
