    Abstract

    A few preliminary concepts related to the theoretical and practical methodologies that can be applied to the detection of turbulence from Doppler radars are presented. Two different methods for normalizing the Doppler spectrum are discussed. The Doppler moments from these spectra are evaluated and compared to those calculated from the ensemble-averaged spectrum. A simplified periogram estimate for the Doppler spectrum is developed to illustrate the various diagonal and cross terms. Finally, several comments are made about practical issues such as the spatial averaging of the Doppler spectrum.
