A comparison of scalar and velocity microturbulence measurements obtained from in situ sensors mounted on a tower and from a Doppler radar/wind profiler is described. The signal-to-noise ratios taken from the Doppler velocity spectra measured by the radar are compared to values of the refractive index structure function parameter, ;An experimental and theoretical analysis of the time and space filters that are applied to radar measurements of velocity turbulence is given. A technique for using radar spectral width to estimate the velocity structure function parameter, ;Sensitivity studies determine if the radar equations behave properly when the radar signal processing parameters are changed. The radar... |
