DETECT United States of America gary.andrews@detect-inc.com	The RAPTOR™ Radar Wind Profiler line is a proven implementation of modern techniques that supports unattended operation delivering continuous measurement of profiles of vertical and horizontal winds and virtual temperature (RASS) for weather forecasting, aviation, space and military applications. Integration of a temperature, humidity, and liquid water profiling radiometer is optional. RAPTOR delivers high reliability with low acquisition and ownership costs. RAPTOR systems are available in frequencies satisfying country- and application-specific requirements. RAPTOR utilizes a unique, electronically steerable Yagi antenna array that, along with the transmitter, is scalable so that systems can be customized to meet each customer’s wind height specifications from near ground to 18+ km; see http://www.detect-inc.com/rwp.html
Leosphere SAS France info@leosphere.fr	The Windcube™ is a wind profiler which allows the user to get many wind components The Windcube™ can be used for calibration of short term forecasting models with wind vertical profiles. It provides the flexibility of a mobile sensor and the performances of a 200m met mast with cup anemometers. LEOSPHERE presents the EZ Cloud & Aerosol Lidar, a LIDAR dedicated to cloud and aerosol monitoring. This system is a vertical aerosol profiler.
Lockheed Martin, MS2 – Integrated Weather and Environmental Systems United States of America bryce.ford@lmco.com	The Troposheric Wind and Temperature Profiler is an unattended UHF clear-air Doppler radar and acoustic system that profiles the upper winds and atmospheric temperature. The winds are measured every six minutes to an altitude of 16.25 kilometers, and the system automatically computes hourly averages of horizontal wind speed and direction with an accuracy of 1 meter/second and 3 degrees, respectively. Temperature profiles are typically measured once an hour to an instrumented altitude of 5.75 kilometers with a resolution of 0.3C using the Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) technique. The technology has been proven in NOAA’s network of 35 tropospheric systems. Wind Profiler
MEISEI ELECTRIC CO. LTD. Japan cs@meisei.co.jp	Meisei's development, design and manufacturing of meteorological equipment, includes equipment for remote sensing to measure wind direction, wind speed and temperature in the lower atmosphere.
METEK GmbH Germany info@metek.de	METEK GmbH is the producer of a variety of profile giving systems such as: SODAR system for the wind profile determination. RASS extensions for the temperature profile determination in addition to the wind profile of the SODAR. Standard frequencies for METEK RASS extensions are 1290MHz and 482MHz. On request METEK also provides devices with 915MHz and 1274MHz. Micro Rain Radar (MRR-2) for the profile determination of precipitation parameter. Cloud Radar (MIRA-36) for the investigation of cloud processes.
RADIOMETRICS CORPORATION United States of America international_sales@radiometrics.com Product Details and Technical Specifications	The MP-3000A WeatherCam continuously monitors 3D temperature, humidity and liquid structures that define local weather. Temperature and humidity profile accuracy is equivalent to contemporaneous Radiosonde soundings, and up to an order of magnitude more accurate than Radiosonde soundings with 12 hour latency. Continuous forecast tools and indices based on these data provide accurate convection, fog and icing hazard alerts. Liquid profiles are key to improved precipitation forecasting and climate modeling.
Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. Japan yo-shikata@sei.co.jp	Wind Profiler Radar “LQ Series” Sumitomo Electric has developed a new model of L-band wind profiler radar system that employs a Luneburg lens at the antenna unit, in joint research with Kyoto University's Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere. The new "LQ Series" model has substantially lower price and improved characteristics and user-friendliness than previous models. The main features of "LQ Series" are: (1) Low price, (2) Low running cost, (3) Expandable system structure, (4) Active phased array antenna, (5) Pulse compression technique, (6) Operation monitoring, (7) Endurable design.
