  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008281",
  "term": "Radar wind sounding",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A method for determining upper-air wind speed and direction by tracking a radar target carried aloft by a free-rising balloon. The target, often a corner reflector attached to a radiosonde, is tracked by a ground-based radar system. The radar measures the target's azimuth, elevation, and range at regular intervals to calculate its horizontal movement, which corresponds to the wind profile.",
