| Description | Radars are increasingly being used for determinations of the small-scale wave and turbulence fields of the atmosphere. It is important to understand as fully as possible the likely sources of error or bias in radar velocity determinations. This is especially true for the determination of wave and turbulence parameters which often rely on the measurement of first or second order deviations from the prevailing wind and therefore require better precision and time resolution than is usually required for measurements of the mean winds alone. The intercomparison of velocity measurements made with different techniques (e.g., radar and balloon) can be expected to help determine not only the relative effectiveness of the different methods, but also the degree of reliability. |
