Summary

A Survey on wind profilers has been conducted by WMO to determine the current status of implementation of operational WPR systems. Several reasons justified the establishment of this survey, including: developing a comprehensive web-based database of WPR network metadata and planning information, assisting in determining the potential for wider international exchange of WPR data, gathering WPR information that might be utilized in determining requirements for access to and protection of radio-frequency spectrum allocation, and identifying and sharing common issues/problems and potential solutions gathered within the questionnaire. This report provides a brief analysis of the response of WMO Members to the CBS Expert Team on Surface Based Observations (ET-SBO) survey on wind profiler radars.
