Very High Frequency (VHF) Radar Wind Profilers are being installed on Ponape, East Caroline Islands and Christmas Island, Republic of Kiribati to continuously monitor winds aloft. The purpose of this experiment is to study wind fluctuations on time scales between minutes and days, to determine the longitudinal character of these fluctuations, and to examine their relationship to climate variability. Six-hourly wind profiles will be provided via satellite to the scientific community for Project TOGA (Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere)
