Radar Wind Profiler

Wind Intelligence at Every Altitude.

OVERVIEW

One Product Family. Endless Atmospheric Possibilities.

Radiometrics Radar Wind Profilers (RWP) provide continuous, unattended, real-time measurements of atmospheric wind fields, delivering the critical environmental intelligence needed to support operational decision-making across a wide range of industries. Using advanced Doppler radar technology, our systems continuously monitor wind conditions from the boundary layer to the mesosphere, depending on the selected profiler configuration. Designed for long-term reliability and virtually all-weather operation, Radiometrics Radar Wind Profilers support aviation, operational weather forecasting, wind energy, wildfire management, aerospace, defense, atmospheric research, air quality monitoring, and other applications requiring accurate, high-quality meteorological observations. With scalable system architectures and configurable operating parameters, Radiometrics offers Radar Wind Profiler solutions tailored to meet project-specific requirements, regulatory standards, and budgets.
