Radar Doppler
Measurement Categories: Cloud Properties
Description: The power spectrum and moments of the radar signal expressed as a function of Doppler frequency or Doppler velocity. It may be thought of as the reflectivity weighted ratio velocity distribution of the scatterers in a distributed target.
