The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Mobile Integrated Profiling System (MIPS) is a mobile atmospheric profiling system. It includes a 915 MHz Doppler profiler, lidar ceilometer, 12 channel microwave profiling radiometer, Doppler Sodar, Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS), Field Mills, and surface observing station. This dataset consists of consensus data files (*.cdf) and momentum (*.mom) files tarred together for each day.

The "cdf" file collects 15 minute average 3-D wind profiles from the Doppler Sodar starting at the beginning of each day. The "mom" file contains data from each beam about radial velocity and backscattter intensisty.
