Radial wind

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008286

The component of wind velocity directed either toward or away from a central point or a radar antenna. It represents the motion along a specific line of sight, providing information about convergence or divergence within a weather system. Doppler radar systems measure this component directly to infer atmospheric motion.
