Abstract:
This dataset contains vertical wind profiles for several
tropical Pacific islands and TOGA COARE ships. All data were
provided by NOAA's Aeronomy
Lab, which operates several of the wind profiling radars.
Other contributors include the Australian Bureau of Meteorology,
which owns the Darwin radar, and TOGA COARE which provided data
from ships and some land stations.
Data are available from as early as August 1985, and the
Galapagos radar is still currently in operation. Please consult
the inventory for
full period-of-record information for each individual
station.

Metadata Record:
Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
