Data from a VHF wind‐profiling radar are being used as a teaching aid in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. An example is given of data obtained during the passage of a train of baroclinic waves which shows how the radar, together with output from weather‐forecast models, can vividly illustrate processes occurring over a range of scales.
