Abstract
The Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) technique for measuring temperature profiles with good time and height resolution has been applied using wind profiling radars operating at three frequencies (49.8, 404.37 and 915MHz). The performance of the three systems is discussed in terms of the altitude coverage of the temperature measurements and physical processes limiting the coverage. The lower frequencies can probe greater altitudes, but the 49.8MHz wind profilers have a minimum range of about 2.1 km limiting their usefulness for some studies. These preliminary results indicate that the use of RASS in concert with wind profilers has promise for operational meteorology.
