| Zusammenfassung |
| Methods of upper wind measurements used in
operational meteorology have been reviewed to provide guidance to those
developing wind profiler radar systems. The main limitations of the various
methods of tracking weather balloons are identified using results from the WMO
radiosonde comparisons and additional tests in the United Kingdom. Costs
associated with operational balloon measurements are reviewed. The sampling and
quality of operational aircraft wind observations are illustrated with examples
from the ASDAR system. Measurement errors in horizontal winds are quantified
wherever possible. When tracking equipment is functioning correctly, random
errors in southerly and westerly wind component measurements from aircraft and
weather balloons are usually in the range 0.5-2 m s-1. |
