Observation data taken by 1.3GHz transportable wind profiler radar (called LQ4) at Koganei, Japan (TXT format)

2013-03-06 10:00:00

The 10-minute average observation data in the lower troposphere (0.1-8 km) taken by the1.3GHz transportable wind profiler radar (called LQ4) at Koganei, Tokyo (35.71N, 139.49E, 80m MSL). The profiles of wind velocity, SNR, and CN2 are stored in the TXT file named koglq4-YYYYMMDDhhmm.txt.

If you acquire 1.3GHz transportable wind profiler radar (called LQ4) data, we ask that you acknowledge us in your use of the data. This may be done by including text such as Koganei LQ4 data provided by National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). We would also appreciate receiving a copy of the relevant publications.
