Abstract
A method for retrieval of lost radial velocity in weather radar includes expanding a radial velocity area to non-meteorological echoes including sea clutter and chaff echo using raw radar data for use of a wind field calculation area, correcting radial velocity by replacing the radial velocity determined as noise using a median sign comparison method with a median calculated within a window to which the radial velocity belongs, distinguishing a lost radial velocity area by comparing the corrected radial velocity with radar reflectivity data, and retrieving lost radial velocity using a Velocity Azimuth Display (VAD) fit function representing radial velocity of particles observed along a radar radiation source at a certain elevation in the lost radial velocity area as a function of an azimuth angle. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the quality of calculated wind field using the improved radar radial velocity, and provide more accurate dynamic structure information of the precipitation system.
