Abstract: | Horizontal wind measured by wind profiling radar (WPR) is based on uniform wind
assumption in volume of lateral beam. However, this assumption cannot completely meet in the
real atmosphere. The subject of this work is to analyze the influence of atmospheric
inhomogeneities for wind measurement. Five-beam WPR can measure two groups of horizontal wind
components U and V independently, using the difference of horizontal wind components U and V
can evaluate the influence of the inhomogeneity of the atmospheric motion on wind measurement.
The influences can be divided into both inhomogeneous distribution of horizontal motion and
vertical motion. Based on wind measurements and meteorological background information, a new
means of coordinate rotation the two kinds of inhomogeneous factor was separated, and the
impact in different weather background was discussed. From analysis of the wind measured by
type of PB-II WPR (445MHz) during 2012 at Yanqing of Beijing, it is shown that the
inhomogeneity of horizontal motion is nearly the same in U and V direction. Both the
inhomogeneities of horizontal motion and vertical motion have influence on wind measurement,
and the degrees of both influences are associated with changes of wind speed. In clear air,
inhomogeneity of horizontal motion is the main influence on wind measurement because of small
vertical velocity. In precipitation, the two influences are larger than that in clear air. |
