The use of diffraction pattern similarity in CF methods compared to that of rate of temporaland spatial change by SF methods means that only intensity of vertical turbulent velocity σwcan be measured <strong>with</strong> CF-based techniques unless rather restrictive additional assumptionsare employed; e.g., Briggs (1980), Hocking et al. (1989), Doviak et al. (1996). SF-basedtechniques potentially allow the measurement of characteristics of horizontal turbulentvelocity components separately such as σ u, σv, uv , and others (Praskovsky andPraskovskaya, 2003a, b).Therefore, CF and SF-based SA techniques do not compete but rather complement eachother. The UCAR-STARS method could become a useful alternative to the traditional CF andspectra-based data analysis techniques for SA radars.Acknowledgements.
