Profiler/RASS/Sodar Concepts

• What are typical profiler wavelengths and what type of scattering is involved?
• What are the "typical" specs for the profilers in the demonstration network?
• What is the sampling strategy (beam orientations, modes, gate spacing, etc.) used by profilers?
• What are the profiler moments that are recorded?
• What are the advantages of using profiler data?

• How are different precip types detectable in all the profiler moments?
• What are the common artifacts in profiler data?
• How do the boundary layer profilers differ from the 404 MHz profilers?
• What are the data ranges and resolutions for both types of profilers?
• How does a RASS unit determine virtual temperature?
• How do Sodars operate, what is their data range and resolution?
