Observation data of the lower troposphere taken by the transportable wind profiler (called LQ7) at Manado (GIF format)

2016-07-21 18:22:00

The time-height plots of three components of wind velocity (zonal, meridional and vertical winds), echo power and spectral width of five radar beams in the lower troposphere between 0.2 and 10.0 km taken by the transportable wind profiler (called LQ7) at Manado in North Suraesi, Indonesia (1.55N, 124.93E, 90m MSL). File names are composed of date and variable abbreviations: (year)(month).(variable).gif (1-month plot) or (year)(month)(day).(variable).gif (1-day plot). The variable abbreviations are wnd, pwr and wdt, which mean wind velocity, echo power and spectral width, respectively. Local time (UT+08:00) is used for time data. The right panels of each time-height plot are 1-day or 1-month average profiles of each parameter as a function of height.

If you acquire Manado-WPR data, we ask that you acknowledge us in your use of the data. This may be done by including text such as Pontianak-WPR data were obtained by the JEPP-HARIMAU and SATREPS-MCCOE projects promoted by JAMSTEC and BPPT under collaboration with RISH of Kyoto University and LAPAN. We would also appreciate receiving a copy of the relevant publications.
