Abstract: The NCAR Improved Moments Algorithm (NIMA) for estimating moments from wind measurement devices that measure Doppler spectra as a function of range is described in some detail. Although NIMA's main application has been for ...

Abstract: A new method for estimating moments from wind measurement devices that measure Doppler spectra as a function of range is presented. Quite often the spectra are contaminated by a wide variety of sources, including (but not ...

Abstract: The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Improved Moments Algorithm (NIMA) calculates the first and second moments (radial velocity and spectral width) of wind-profiler Doppler spectra and provides an evaluation ...
