Abstract :
The adaptive algorithm synthesis theory is used to develop new algorithms applied to radar signals in the detection of turbulent zones in clouds and precipitation. The efficiency of these new algorithms is analyzed. Simulations of weather radar signals on the one hand and modeling and testing of the processing algorithms on the other hand are performed for comparative analysis. The results demonstrate a significant superiority of the new algorithms in comparison with the widely used pulse-pair algorithm.
