Abstract: | Among the single-Doppler radar wind analysis methods,the velocity-azimuth display(VAD),velocityazimuth process(VAP),and uniform wind(UW) methods are widely used because of their simplicity.A general form of the VAD,VAP,and UW methods is the integrating VAP(IVAP) method,which is based on the azimuth uniform-wind assumption.In this study,the IVAP method is improved by applying the method along natural coordinates. The natural coordinates can be chosen to ensure that the tangential and radial winds are uniform... |
