The 10-minute average observation data in the troposphere (2-20 km) taken by the MU radar at Shigaraki in the Shiga prefecture, Japan (34.86N, 136.11E, 385m MSL), which has been operated in the standard observation mode of the troposphere and stratosphere. The data are stored in the CSV (Comma Separated Values) file named (year)(month)(day).(variable).csv. The variable abbreviations are uwnd, vwnd, wwnd, pwr1, pwr2, pwr3, pwr4, pwr5, wdt1, wdt2, wdt3, wdt4 and wdt5, which mean zonal, meridional and vertical wind velocities, echo power and spectral width for beam 1-5, respectively. The azimuth and zenith angles of beam 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are (0, 0), (0, 10), (90, 10), (180, 10) and (270, 10), respectively, in unit of degree. The numbers of the first line of each file represent altitudes, and the second and below are observational local date and time (year/month/day hour:minute) which corresponds to the center time of averaging period and data at each altitude. The value of 999 means missing data. Since the screening method for original data (not published) in the previous step to derive the average wind velocity was modified, the new data version (1.02) was released on July 4, 2013.
