A demonstration network of sounders of the vertical                        atmospheric wind structure is currently being deployed by the                   National Weather Service.  These "profilers" are based on Doppler               radar principals and represent a major advancement in operational               instrumentation.  Currently, operational wind measurements are                  made by balloon borne packages every twelve hours.  The profilers               will not only be capable of measurements every six minutes, but                 also will have better vertical resolution.  It is anticipated                   that these new instruments will provide research opportunities                  beyond what was previously possible from operational data.                           The Principal Investigators will use data from the                         demonstration network as well as precursor experimental networks                in a variety of mesoscale research activities.  Emphasis will be                on the physical understanding of the formation and maintenance of               fronts, jets and mesoscale features of cyclones.  Of special                    interest is the diagnosis of the processes occurring in the                     formation of small-scale cyclones in polar airstreams over land.                The hourly evolution of the severe-storm environment also will be               studied to relate the vertical shear profile to the character of                convective storms.
