Abstract:
1. A method for generating a three-dimensional buffer of wind turbulence around a radar system based on radar system return data, the method comprising: a) receiving a radar measurement from the radar system as a result of a radar return from a transmitted radar beam; b) generating a wind turbulence value based on the received radar measurement; c) generating a prediction of wind turbulence for a location in the buffer based on wind turbulence data stored in the location, a previously defined beam radiation pattern, and range of space external to the radar system that is associated with the location; d) subtracting the generated prediction from the generated wind turbulence value; e) adjusting the wind turbulence data stored in the location based on the result of the subtraction; and f) generating an image for display.
