Description: | Uncertainty estimates for velocity, wind speed and wind direction are not correct. The
current method considers only the uncertainty due to the radial velocity precision and does
not account for uncertainty due to turbulence, which is generally the dominant source of
error. As a result, the uncertainties are significantly under estimated. |
Suggestions: | Users should not use the uncertainties provided by the current VAP (i.e. u_error,
v_error, w_error, wind_speed_error,wind_direction_error) as a means of quality control. The
variable called "residual" provides a much better indicator of data quality. |
