Noise filtering in a variational wind field retrieval from Doppler radar

Two different concepts for noise filtering in a DOPPLER radar wind field retrieval are compared. The first technique is a smoothing on the raw radar data. The second method uses a smoothness constraint within a variational technique in which a model wind field is adjusted to radar data by minimizing...
