3d Velocity Retrieval And Storm Tracking Using Multiple Radars, Yong Zhang
3d Velocity Retrieval And Storm Tracking Using Multiple Radars, Yong Zhang
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Severe weather forecasting is one of the most important and urgent tasks in the meteorology field. This thesis builds on previous work by Barron and Mercer and their graduate students, concerning the use of 3D optical flow to retrieve 3D wind velocity from 3D Doppler radial velocity datasets and tracking 3D severe weather storms using fuzzy points realized as ellipsoids to represent storms and a fuzzy algebra machinery in a relaxation labeling framework to track storms in Doppler precipitation datasets.
We first extend the original 3D optical flow (both least squares and regularization methods) for recovering 3D wind velocity from …
