  "term": "Doppler velocity",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The component of a target's velocity directed along the line of sight of a Doppler radar or lidar, measured by the Doppler frequency shift. It represents the speed at which a target is moving directly towards or away from the sensor. This radial velocity is a fundamental measurement for determining wind speeds, precipitation motion, and the kinematics of atmospheric phenomena.",
