Methods for verifying the accuracy of wind profilesComparisons of radar-measured winds have been made with several types of measurements not only to verify radar data but also to seek a satisfactory comparison method. Three of the comparisons that have been made with Colorado Profiler radars are summarized. Radar measurements were compared with radiosonde measurements. Infrared lidar and 915 MHz radar were compared with radiosondes. A brief radar/radar comparison was made using the 50-MHz radar and a 3-cm wavelength meteorological Doppler radar during precipitation.
