Fitting a Cartesian prediction model to radial-velocity data from single-Doppler radar

This technique is generalized to radial velocity observations by fitting a Cartesian prediction model to interpolated radial velocity data in Cartesian coordinates. The three-dimensional wind and temperature are determined by minimizing the difference between simulated single-Doppler observations of radial velocity and reflectivity in Cartesian coordinates and their predictions from a numerical model.

An application of this technique to a simulation of dry convection gives successful results.
