METHOD OF ESTIMATING ACCURACY OF DOPPLER RADAR WIND PROFILE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01S13/95 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: method of estimating accuracy of Doppler radar wind profile (DRWP) includes one radiosonde radar weather station, based on synchronous probing of the atmosphere by the DRWP and a standard meteorological apparatus (MA), where the speed and direction of wind are measured, the DRWP and MA obtain several results which are fed to a computer. The mean-square error of the DRWP in measuring speed and direction of wind is determined based on equal accuracy of measurements with given confidence probability. The disclosed invention is characterised by making the MA in form of two identical radiosonde radar weather stations, the wind speed and direction measurement results of each of which form the first outputs are fed to the second and third inputs of the computer where they are averaged. The difference in results is taken, transformation is performed and the accuracy of the DRWP in measuring speed and direction of wind is determined based on a corresponding mathematical relationship.

EFFECT: estimation of accuracy and systematic error in measuring speed and direction of wind.
