Abstract
Two sets of equations are derived to 1 ) map airborne Doppler radar da ta from an aircraft-relative coordinate system to an earth-relative co ordinate system, and 2) remove the platform motion from the observed D oppler velocities. These equations can be applied to data collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration WP-3D system, the National Center for Atmospheric Research ELDORA system, and other air borne radar systems.
