Abstract: A method for determining a kinematic structure of a two-dimensional wind field and a system determining the same are provided. The method comprises receiving a plurality of Doppler velocities and a plurality of distances between a Doppler radar and a gate. Each Doppler velocity of the plurality of Doppler velocities corresponds to a respective distance of the plurality of distances between the Doppler radar and the gate. The method further comprises calculating a plurality of distance Doppler velocity values. The distance Doppler velocity values represent the plurality of measured Doppler velocities and the distance between the Doppler radar and the gate. The method further comprises estimating the kinematic structure of the 2D wind field using the plurality of distance Doppler wind velocity values.

Abstract: A method for generating a representation of a kinematic structure of an atmospheric vortex is provided. The method comprises receiving a plurality of signals from a Doppler radar. The signals are reflected at a plurality of pulse volumes. The method also comprises measuring a plurality of Doppler velocities based on the received signals. A plurality of scaled Doppler velocities are calculated representing the plurality of measured Doppler velocities, the radial distance between the Doppler radar and the pulse volume where the Doppler velocity is measured, and the distance between the radar and a first estimated atmospheric vortex center. The method also comprises generating a representation of the kinematic structure of the atmospheric vortex using the plurality of scaled Doppler wind velocity values.
