Abstract. In this paper, we apply wavelet thresholding for removing automatically ground and intermittent clutter (airplane echoes) from wind profiler radar data. Using the concept of discrete multi-resolution analysis and non-parametric estimation theory, we develop wavelet domain thresholding rules, which allow us to identify the coefficients relevant for clutter and to suppress them in order to obtain filtered reconstructions.

Key words. Meteorology and atmospheric dynamics (instruments and techniques) – Radio science (remote sensing; signal processing)
