Triple Doppler observations of a convective

Abstract

The advantages of three or more radars is illustrated in terms of extended a real coverage, error variance reduction and mitigation of poor sampling effects of divergence fields near the ground. Errors in the horizontal and vertical particle motion fields are illustrated for a three, four and five radar network, and the importance of experimental design is illustrated. A variationally formulated multiple Doppler radar analysis, which includes data from a surface network, and an illustrative analysis of storm data are presented. (A)
