Single Doppler Velocity Signatures: An Atlas of Patterns in Clear Air/Widespread Precipitation and Convective Storms

摘要

A variety of single Doppler velocity patterns that simulate those observed in the atmosphere are presented. Measurements in optically clear air/wide-spread precipitation are simulated using horizontally uniform wind fields that change with height. Measurements of horizontal flow fields within thunderstorms are simulated using a combination of simple rotation, divergence/convergence and uniform flow models. Simulations are compared with actual Doppler velocity measurements to test the veracity of the simulations.
