Doppler spread

  "term": "Doppler spread",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The range of Doppler frequency shifts observed in a radar or lidar signal, indicating the variability of radial velocities within the illuminated volume. A larger Doppler spread suggests greater turbulence or a wider range of target motions. This parameter is directly related to the spectral width of the Doppler spectrum and provides insights into the small-scale dynamics and mixing processes within the atmosphere.",
