Description
The 10-minute average observation data in the lower troposphere (0.1-8 km) taken by the1.3GHz transportable wind profiler radar (called LQ4) at Koganei, Tokyo (35.71N, 139.49E, 80m MSL). The profiles of wind velocity, SNR, and CN2 are stored in the TXT file named koglq4-YYYYMMDDhhmm.txt.
