title = "Processing of High-Resolution Hurricane Ida Boundary Layer Winds from the IWRAP Instrument on the NOAA WP-3D Aircraft",
abstract = "A major gap in wind vector measurements exists in the lowest levels (below 500m) of the hurricane boundary layer (HBL). The 3-dimensional Doppler measurements from the Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (IWRAP) on board the NOAA WP-3D aircraft are showing potential to close this gap. During the 2021 hurricane season IWRAP was configured to produce near real time measurements of the HBL winds. The IWRAP's raw data acquisition system allows for full HBL atmospheric profiling all the way down to the ocean surface using the spectral processing technique. For the first time ever, high resolution HBL wind and reflectivity profiles below 500m were retrieved from IWRAP measurements in Hurricane Ida on August 29th, 2021. The spectral processing technique utilized and subsequent wind and reflectivity profiles are presented and discussed.",
