Title: Wind-Field Observations with the Operational Doppler Radar Network in Germany
Abstract: Doppler velocity measurements from Doppler weather radars can be used to estimate the horizontal wind field. In the past several techniques were developed for this purpose to be used during field campaigns. But only a few weather services retrieve operational the horizontal wind vector from their Doppler radars. In this paper we show that it is possible to apply successfully the known methods to the Doppler velocity measurements performed by operational Doppler radars of the Deutscher Wetterdienst. Both, single and dual Doppler techniques were applied to ensure a large area where the horizontal wind field can be estimated.
