A New Retrieval Technique for Single-Doppler Radar

This paper presents a new method called Vorticity-Divergence method (V-D method) for retrieving horizontal wind field from single-Doppler radar PPI. Retrieval experiments are conducted using the Doppler radar observational data on July 12, 1994 with the V-D method. The results are compared with the actual synoptic situation. It is shown that the V-D method is a effective one for the single-Doppler radar wind field retrieval
