UHF (915 Mhz) profilers

• The 915 MHz profilers are small, relatively low-cost UHF Doppler radars used primarily to measure vertical profiles of horizontal winds in the boundary layer.  
• The operating procedure and scanning strategies are similar to the 404 MHz profilers.  The 915 MHz profilers have a minimum range of about 100 m above ground level (AGL), and variable range resolutions.
• Depending on the configuration of the radar, and the atmospheric conditions, the profilers are capable of measuring winds from 0.1 to about 3-5 km AGL.
• With the addition of an optional Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS), virtual temperature profiles up to about 1-2.5 km can also be obtained.
