MACAWS Data Processing by VAD Algorithms |
 | | VADs 1, 3, and 5 were selected for analysis due to their similar locations. |
 | | The aerosol layer (in all three VADs) is approximately 4500m thick and is signified by the coherent LOS wind structure between the ground and range gate 30 in most portions of VADs 1, 3, and 5. |
 | | In addition, the agreement between the u and v component wind speeds at the top of the profiles and the wind speed and direction measured aboard the aircraft (Figures 11 a, b, Figures 12 a, b, Figures 13 a, b) lends support to both the MACAWS data and the processing methods that were chosen. |
