3D regularized velocity from 3D Doppler radial velocity

摘要

The availability of sequences of 3D Doppler radial velocity datasets provides sufficient information to estimate the 3D velocity of Doppler storms. We present a regularization framework for computing the 3D velocity field of storms from the underlying 3D radial velocities via an intermediate least squares computation. We obtain very realistic Doppler velocities, which can be used to estimate and predict the motion of Doppler storms. Such information is fundamental in the tracking of Doppler storms over time.
