Assessment of Radar-Derived Wind Profiles in Comparison with Radiosonde Wind Observations Over Delhi, India
摘要
Accurate wind profiles are essential for weather forecasting, synoptic analysis, and nowcasting of rapidly evolving weather phenomena like thunderstorms. Radar-derived wind profiles offer high-resolution, real-time observations, making them valuable for operational meteorology. This study evaluates Volume Velocity Processing (VVP)-derived winds against traditional Radio Sonde Radio Wind (RSRW) observations over Delhi to assess their accuracy and reliability. The analysis, conducted at key WMO pressure levels, shows a strong correlation between radar-derived and RSRW winds, validating their operational utility. Enhancing the accuracy of radar-derived winds can improve weather predictions, leading to more precise warnings and reduced socio-economic impacts of extreme weather events.
