Under the assumption that the wind vectors of two contiguous azimuth are same, the VAP (Velocity Azimuth Processing) method is proposed to retrieve the wind vector field from the distributions of Doppler velocity on the distance circle.

• 从单Doppler速度场反演风矢量场的VAP(Velocity Azimuth Processing)方法是在假定相邻方位角的风矢量相等的前提下,从单部Doppler雷达所测得的各个距离圈上的径向速度随方位角分布的廓线推算风向和风速的方法。
