The horizontal wind profiles measured by a SODAR and radiosondes during the DRYTOWET-AMC/LBA experiment are compared. The analysis were made considering three layers: from surface up to 500 m, from 500 up to 1000 m and from 1000 to 1500 m. In the first layer the wind field profiles are in good agreement, however, the correlation values between SODAR and radiosonde data, gets significantly lower for the other two layers. The results suggest that the SODAR data should better be used if operating from surface up to 500 m and with greater vertical resolution.
