If you need to measure wind speed and direction at a height of 10 km above the surface, the type of radar you would use is called:
A) a tropospheric assessor.
B) Doppler radar.
C) a wind profiler.
D) sonic radar.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A wind profiler is specifically designed to measure wind speed and direction at various levels in the atmosphere, including up to 10 km above the surface. Doppler radar can also be used to measure wind speed, but it may not provide accurate directional information at such high altitudes. The other options - a tropospheric assessor and sonic radar - are not real types of radars.
