A Method for Detection of the Airflow Within Storms with Conventional Weather Radar

A method for applying correlation pattern recognition to determine the displacement of reflectivity pattern between two scans in the radar reflectivity field is described. According to this method, two–dimensional velocity field of storm echo, and internal airflow of storm is obtained by conventional weather radar. Then, the reflectivity fields are computed by use of this method and compared with observed storm reflectivity fields.
