WIND

The WIND task is a short distance volume scan providing wind observations for products such as VVP and WIND.

The task uses the FFT major mode in H-only. A robust dual pulse repetition frequency provides unambiguous winds of up to +/- 50 m/s, up to a range of 78 km. The quality settings are those of a classic Doppler.

A higher dual pulse repetition frequency ratio (4:3, 5:4) can increase the unambiguous velocity regime and/or the maximum range. However, using higher dual PRF ratios as well as longer ranges decreases the quality of velocity data.
