| Description: |
| The 10-minute average observation data in the lower troposphere (0.7-6.4 km) taken by the boundary layer radar (BLR)-1 at Shigaraki in the Shiga prefecture, Japan (34.86N, 136.11E, 385m MSL). The observation data are stored in the CSV (Comma Separated Values) file named (year)(month)(day).(variable).csv. The variable abbreviations are uwnd, vwnd, wwnd, pwr1, pwr2, pwr3, wdt1, wdt2, and wdt3, which mean zonal, meridional and vertical wind velocities, echo power and spectral width for beam 1-3, respectively. The azimuth and zenith angles of beam 1, 2 and 3 are (0, 0), (0, 15), and (90, 15), respectively, in unit of degree. The numbers of the first line of each file represent altitudes, and the second and below are observational local date and time (year/month/day hour:minute) which corresponds to the center time of averaging period and data at each altitude. The value of 999 means missing data. |

| Description: The boundary layer radar (BLR)-1 at Shigaraki in the Shiga prefecture, Japan (34.86N, 136.11E, 385m MSL) was operated at the frequency of 1357.5 MHz with a peak transmitted power of 1 kW. This instrument was originally developed in Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere (RISH), Kyoto University and Mitsubichi Electric Corporation, in order to measure the wind velocity in the atmospheric boundary layer. The three parabolic antennas of the BLR-1 with a diameter of 2 m are fixed toward three different directions in order to observe the three components of the wind velocity. This BLR-1 was transported to the Serpong observatory in Indonesia (6.36S, 106.65E, 50m MSL) after test measurement of the wind profile at Shigaraki. The test measurement period was from April 13 to August 29, 1992. The basic configuration of the transmitting and receiving apparatus and the signal processor has been described in the two papers [Hashiguchi et al., Radio Sci., 30, 1043-1053, 1995; Hashiguchi et al., J. Meteor. Soc. Japan, 73, 535-548, 1995]. |

| Description: The Shigaraki Middle and Upper atmosphere (MU) Observatory is located at Shigaraki in the Shiga prefecture, Japan (34.86N, 136.11E, 385m MSL) in the middle latitude. In this site, various kinds of instruments (for example, middle and upper (MU) atmosphere radar, boundary layer radar (BLR), meteor wind (MW) radar and ionosonde) have been installed, which measure the middle-latitude atmosphere including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere. |
