Retrieval of Air Flow Velocity Using Doppler Weather Radars

The potential of Doppler weather radars in estimating the speed and direction of airflows within the area of coverage is investigated. It is demonstrated that the usage of one radar does notre-trieve the field of these parame ters but makes possible the solution of partial problems. Different ways of solution are considered. The method based on multiposition radiolocation is proposed as the most promising one.
