VAD: Velocity Azimuth Display

Figure 1. VAD Example Configuration

VAD is a display of the mean Doppler velocity at a given range as a function of the azimuth angle as the radar antenna rotates through an azimuth scan at a constant elevation.

Min-Max Rng

Select the range over which to average the velocities.

The VAD product averages all velocities in this range for all rays, and store a structure for each ray. This structure includes the average value, standard deviation, data count, as well as the azimuth, elevation, and sweep number.

Unfolding
Select this option to enable unfolding the data before generating the product.
