The Doppler Radar Wind Profiler (DRWP) is a wind profiler system operated by NASA at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC). It detects radar signals to provide profiles of wind speed, direction, and shear. KSC operates two DRWP systems: a 50-MHz DRWP and a 915-MHz DRWP. The 50-MHz DRWP provides profiles every 5 minutes at 150-meter intervals from 2 to 18.6 km. The 915-MHz DRWP provides profiles every 15 minutes at 100-meter intervals from approximately 150 to 6100 meters.
