Abstract
Simulations of weather radar echoes were used to determine whether sin gle-pulse estimates of velocity could br made with sufficient accuracy to measure the velocity aliasing that is inherent with pulse Doppler weather radars. The results indicated that; this type of velocity meas urement can be made. but such a large number of sincere-pulse estimate s need to be averaged to determine the velocity aliasing that the conc ept is not compatible with the spatial and temporal resolution require ments of the WSR-88D (NEXRAD).
