In this paper an intercomparison of vertical profiles of horizontal velocity observed with MST radar and radiosonde is presented. A gross agreement is seen generally between the radar and balloon measured wind profiles. Vertical profile of the refractivity turbulence structure constant, Cn2 is compared with a model computation of Cn2 based on radiosonde observations. The radar reflectivity and the theoretical model provide good estimates of the 2 vertical profiles of Cn2. Profiles of Cn2 (model) agree well with the measured profiles of Cn2 (radar). (4 pages)
