ABSTRACT:
An airborne doppler radar wind shear detection system has a volumetric scanning pattern for providing atmospheric measurement data for individual resolution cells that are formed into a 3-D grid of atmospheric data samples. Volumetric feature extraction modules identify and group resolution cells having particular features into air masses of interest. A spatial feature association and filtering module combines the air masses of interest into a 3-D representation of atmospheric conditions and filters out ground clutter. A contextual matching and temporal tracking module compares the 3-D representation to known wind shear models and compares successive 3-D representations to one another to aid in identifying hazardous wind shear conditions in the aircraft flight path.
