Title
Application of Nonuniform Beam Filling (NUBF) Doppler Velocity Error Correction on Airborne Radar Measurements
Abstract
Nonuniform beam filling (NUBF) within an atmospheric radar sampling volume can cause significant Doppler velocity errors when the radar is located on a fast-moving platform. A case of strong NUBF errors was identified in ER-2 X-band Radar (EXRAD) data from the Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) 2020 field campaign. A basic NUBF correction was employed using an estimate of the along-track radar reflectivity gradient. The relationship is verified empirically using colocated Doppler velocity measurements from the higher resolution cloud radar system (CRS).
