| description | It is well known in the scientific community that some remote sensing
instruments assume that sample volumes present homogeneous conditions within
a defined meteorological profile. At complex topographic sites and under
extreme meteorological conditions, this assumption may be fallible depending
on the site, and it is more likely to fail in the lower layers of the
atmosphere. This piece of work tests the homogeneity of the wind field over
a boundary layer wind profiler radar located in complex terrain on the coast
under different meteorological conditions. The results reveal the
qualitative importance of being aware of deviations in this homogeneity
assumption and evaluate its effect on the final product. Patterns of
behavior in data have been identified in order to simplify the analysis of
the complex signal registered.
<br><br>
The quality information obtained from the homogeneity study under different
meteorological conditions provides useful indicators for the best
alternatives the system can offer to build wind profiles. Finally, the
results are also to be considered in order to integrate them in a quality
algorithm implemented at the product level. |
