Figure 3: (a) Baseline length dependence of SD [ρ] for isotropic case, (b) dependence onorientation ψ N for anisotropic case <strong>with</strong> SD minima when aligned <strong>with</strong> baselines. SAconfiguration Cases as per Hassenpflug et al. [2003].SDs. We showed the dependence of the theoretical SD on baseline length, and relativeorientation of baselines and correlation ellipse. These dependencies provide a means tooptimize spaced antenna configurations for observations of given ranges of correlationlengths. Correlation lengths directly affect wind estimates through steepening of correlationfunctions as correlation lengths are reduced, hence optimized observations alsoimprove characteristics of wind retrieval by SA methods. SD of wind for anisotropicconditions uses correlation-lags, not only zero-lag coefficients, and is a more complexproblem that is currently under investigation.ReferencesAwe, O., Errors in correlation between time series, J.
