Improved Doppler Velocity Dealiasing for Radar Data Assimilation and Storm-Scale Vortex Detection

Figure 6

Enlarged displays around the mesocyclone of (a) the raw radial-velocity image in Figure 5(a) and (b) the dealiased radial-velocity image in Figure 5(c). The yellow circle in each panel encircles the mesocyclone. The white letters B1 and B2 in panel (b) mark the two flagged (in black) areas immediately outside the 5 km range, while the radial velocities within the 5 km radial range on 0.5° tilt are not used and thus flagged (in black) to avoid possible ground clutter contaminations.
