Subject:
TWP/DLPROF/C3 - Uncertainties under estimated
DataStreams:twpdlprofwind4newsC3.c1
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: 
null
Measurements:twpdlprofwind4newsC3.c1:
  • Estimated error in vertical component of wind vector(w_error)
  • Wind speed error(wind_speed_error)
  • Estimated error in northward component of wind vector(v_error)
  • Estimated error in eastward component of wind vector(u_error)
  • Wind direction error(wind_direction_error)
