Radial Velocity Correction

The motion of a ship or airborne platform induces a radial velocity error. IRIS corrects for this error by accounting for the platform motion.

Ship motion measurements are collected from the antenna controller and the radial velocity correction is optionally applied to the ingest files so that all subsequent products and the real time display are corrected. Note that the radial velocity correction and all of the platform motion parameters are archived as part of the extended ray header.
