Description:

Colorado wind profilers are providing the first lcok at new technology that will be with us in the weather service of the future. The basic data are available in pibal format in AFOS under key DEWPDERL. Program "WINDPRCO" plots the vertical wind profile in standard upper air (pseudo) graphic format on a time versus height plot. (See Figure 1 and Figure 2 for sample plots.) Data are plotted for each hour. The most recent profile is presented on the far left with each preceding hour (to eight hours) successively to the right. A map of the Colorado profiler sites is presented as Figure 3.
