Short summary
Wind profilers are important to the wind power industry since they capture wind velocity and direction at higher altitudes than meteorological masts. Although some studies have investigated their performance in different scenarios, this paper covers a gap in knowledge by investigating and comparing their performance under rain events. This investigation is important since the data collected support strategic decisions in the wind power industry, where high data availability in all situations is critical.
