FW, thanks..

I know that this level of wind data, will be much more useful in the automated systems in the near or near future, rather than listening to a message, its just uploaded for use.
There are a few premium FMC solutions which can use the data real time.

Yes, I was looking at DOH, with a consistent issue with over-runs and GA due to the significant windshear at 500 feet.

That is likely an issue with daytime/nighttime temp extremes, near water, and mountainous airports as well.

This wind data is part of the wake turbulence system, that I feel can have immediate side benefits for approach configuration.
