Abstract: A new method is presented for Doppler spectral averaging that more reliably identifies the profiler radar return from clear air in the presence of contamination?for example, from migrating bird echoes. These very sensitive ...

Abstract: adar wind profiler (RWP) systems observe radar returns from refractive index fluctuations due to clear-air turbulence. The Doppler spectra used to compute the moments of the returned signal always include noise from various ...

Abstract: Radar wind profilers (RWPs) sense the mean and turbulent motion of the clear air through Doppler shifts induced along several (3?5) upward-looking beams. RWP signals, like all radars signals, are often contaminated. The ...
