Thanks...I have noticed at a particular installation, that especially at night, the temp inversion causes the winds the shift as it rises, to about 500 feet or more it can be 90 to 180 degrees shift.
Given one must be stabilized by 500, so the wind shift below 500 is very critical, that is really my question, how would be the best way to advise, with ATC, ATIS, or ACARS..and would it be of value to go through the process for me to broadcast through these systems...

just to add, for severe cases, I am looking at broadcasting the windshear alert as well...
