  "term": "maximum unambiguous velocity",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The highest radial velocity that can be measured unambiguously by a pulsed Doppler radar. The maximum unambiguous velocity is related to the radar's successive pulses of emitted energy. When a target's velocity exceeds the maximum unambiguous velocity, the velocity will be \"folded\" to appear as a different velocity.",
