Velocity Folding If a particle's radial velocity is outside the range of the nyquist interval, then the radial velocity will be aliased, or folded. This is called velocity folding/aliasing. Example: if nyquist velocity is 25 m/s and the particle's radial velocity is -30 m/s, then it will fold over and the radar will interpret it as +20 m/s -->> Folded Velocity Examples: |
Storm #1 - Radar Reflectivity | Storm #1 - Doppler Velocities. Where is the folded data? |
Storm #2 - Radar reflectivity and Doppler velocities |
