Acars question - weather data from aircraft

Not sure this is tech, but see if any of you can come up with the answer.

I am interested in the data sent from aircraft reporting winds at heights through ACARS. Here is an example.

I want to know:
  1. Where is it sent to and for what purposes?
  2. Is it automatic at set times, sent on request by the pilot or is it ground interrogation by a user?
Thanks for anyone's help....
