Spatial-Temporal Differential Analysis for Profiling the Atmosphere, 2, Experimental Results

摘要: We consider an application of the spatial-temporal differential analysis (STDA) to measuring characteristics atmosphere with spaced antenna wind profilers. STDA is a new method for processing multiple signals which utilizes spatial and temporal scintillations in instantaneous signal power on radar antenna. To test practical potential STDA, we used actual from antennas profiling (MAPR). The goal was measure mean horizontal winds atmospheric turbulence presence intensive ground clutter. results boundary layer at height 300 m above are compared simultaneous measurements by sonic anemometer located atop 300-m tower 600 distant MAPR. Second-order structure functions were processing. demonstrate that this simplified technique provides good performance reliably cluttered environment. It also enables comprehensive no other known methodology able provide.
