A Weather Systems Processor (WSP) has been added to many of the ASR-9s to measure Doppler wind velocity and thereby support detection of low-level wind shear events. seconds) out to 15 nm where the wind shear detection algorithms operate, and every minute at greater ranges. Not too shabby.

He said that after the event the windsock showed a right crosswind and he believed that there was some wind shear that resulted in the right wing raising during the event.
