Abstract To meet the scientific objectives of the Global Weather Experiment (FGGE) the availability of the detailed vertical wind structure especially in the tropics was considered to be crucial. The Tropical Wind Observing Ships (TWOS) System was implemented to supplement the land-based data during FGGE. Many of the ships which participated in this observing system did not have upper-air observing equipment on board. A Navaid-based sounding system was developed and purchased for these ships through WMO co-ordination and international funding. The paper describes the principles of the Navaid windfinding technique, the hardware solution for the WMO FGGE Navaid Sounding System, the implementation of Navaid data collection and processing, and an assessment of the quality of data acquired.
