1. Processing Airborne Doppler Radar Data
3. Raw unedited data
4. Radial velocity corrected for aircraft speed
5. Remove bad data in rings
6. Remove bad data in rings
7. Removing signals with low Normalized Coherent Power
8. Data with low coherent power removed
9. Lone data points deleted – “despeckling”
10. Most of ground clutter removed
11. Manually removing bad data
12. Most bad data manually removed
13. Data that varies significantly from neighboring data removed – “defreckling”
14. Final clean edited radar sweep!
15. Next step? Repeat the process about 240 times for a 10 minute Quad-Doppler leg!
