Abstract: | The spatial correlation analysis (SCA) was originated by Briggs (1968). The SCA determines the atmospheric wind velocity by calculating the displacement of the ground diffraction pattern over a fixed time-interval. This displacement is obtained using the spatio-temporal correlation function of the ground diffraction pattern. The SCA requires a large array of receiving antennas, such as the Buckland Park (BP) MF radar, to allow the calculation of the spatio-temporal correlation function. A revised SCA capable of implementation using four antennas arranged in a square is presented. The revised SCA has been successfully applied to data recorded using the upgraded BP MF radar. The technique appears to avoid a number of biases inherent in applying the full correlation analysis (FCA), such as the "triangle size effect", in which the FCA velocity estimate increases with increasing antenna separation. ©1997 COSPAR.
