Method and system for generating a distance velocity azimuth display

A system for determining a kinematic structure of a two-dimensional (2D) wind field, comprising:

• a Doppler radar configured to transmit and receive a plurality of pulses;
• a computing device comprising a processor in communication with the Doppler radar, wherein the processor is configured to:
• measure a plurality of Doppler velocities and a plurality of distances between a Doppler radar and a gate, each Doppler velocity of the plurality of Doppler velocities corresponding to a respective distance of the plurality of distances between the Doppler radar and the gate;
• calculate a plurality of distance Doppler velocity values representing the plurality of measured Doppler velocities, and the respective distances between the Doppler radar and the gate;
• estimate the kinematic structure of at least one of a 2D linear and a 2D non-linear wind field using a constant altitude plan of the plurality of distance Doppler wind velocity values and generate a graphical representation of the kinematic structure of the 2D wind field, wherein the processor is configured to estimate the kinematic structure of the 2D wind field by estimating at least one of a constant wind background, a divergence, a shearing deformation, a stretching deformation, and a deformation of the 2D wind field by differentiating the plurality of distance Doppler wind velocity values;
• and
• a display device configured to display at least one of the Doppler wind velocity values and the kinematic structure of the 2D wind field, wherein the display comprises a grid, wherein a wind vector is derived for each grid intersection point.
