Triple-doppler analysis

From Glossary of Meteorology



triple-Doppler analysis[edit | edit source]

A radar analysis technique that makes use of radial velocity measurements by three or more Doppler radars to deduce the three-dimensional velocity vector of radar echoes.

Such observations allow more accurate determination of the three-dimensional velocity than dual-Doppler analysis, which requires additional assumptions about boundary conditions to estimate the vertical velocity component.


  1. In synoptic meteorology, a detailed study of the state of the atmosphere based on observations, usually including a separation of the entity into its component patterns and involving the drawing of families of isopleths for various elements.
