Abstract:

Lower Atmospheric Wind Profiler, also called as atmospheric radar, most suitable remote sensing instrument, used to provide continuous high resolution wind measurements in the lower atmosphere. Signal processing of this atmospheric radar is necessary to estimate the wind profiler moments and signal to noise ratio. The signals, which are processed in the present work, have been obtained from the Lower Atmospheric Wind Profiler (LAWP) at National Atmospheric Research Laboratory, Gadanki, India. In this paper we implement different windowing conditions, to reduce noise from the received data. This paper is based on comparing the signal to noise ratio obtained by the application of different windows to the received time series data. Signal processing of experimental data is performed MATLAB code developed and graphs were plotted.

Keywords:

Clutter, LAWP, Moments, Signal to noise ratio, Window.
