Mean wind vector estimation using the velocity–azimuth display (VAD) method: an explicit algebraic solution

This paper deals with the analysis of the sampling setup for Doppler profilers aiming at the determination of vertical profiles of the wind. An explicit solution for the retrieval of mean wind vectors under the assumption of local homogeneity is presented for the case of a symmetric velocity–azi...
