Wind Data Validation

Team members of CU-STR and SPL, VSCC, ISRO during Balloon borne GPS-radiosonde launch campaign at IFS, Haringhata during July &August 2019

Validation of CU ST Radar Pilot array wind measurements through balloon-borne GPS-radiosonde launches conducted by Space Physics Laboratory (SPL), VSSC, ISRO.

  • July 2019 > radar and radiosonde measured zonal and meridional winds show a good agreement – correlation coefficient of 0.94 and 0.79
  • August 2019 > Good agreement between the radar and radiosonde measured horizontal winds – Correlation coefficient values of zonal and meridional wind components are 0.95 and 0.89
