Claim One:
1. A spatially continuous vertical wind profile system, comprising: a wind profile data collector for transmitting and receiving a plurality of wind profile data; a radiosonde measurements collector for collecting a plurality of radiosonde measurements of winds; a processor for determining a plurality of weighted input data from said plurality of wind profile data and said radiosonde measurements for a neural network; a data screener for removing incomplete and erroneous data records; a selector for selecting a coincident neighborhood data set for a plurality of geographical locations; an assembler for assembling a coincident neighborhood data sets; a trainer for training said neural network for said plurality of geographical locations; a coefficient computation element for computing a plurality of weighting coefficients correlating to a plurality of atmospheric height levels of interest; an error computation element for computing a plurality of root mean square (RMS) errors using a plurality of archived wind profiler measurements; a storage element for archiving said plurality of weighting coefficients and said plurality of RMS errors; and an integrator for integrating said neural network to a plurality of operational wind profiler measurements to provide a plurality of spatially continuous vertical wind profiles.
