The estimation of air and particle motions in storms from multiple Doppler radar measurement is a long standing problem in radar meteorology. Our research interest in understanding the relationship of electrical change generation processes above the freezing level to thunderstorm life cycle, and in the detailed quantification of the eventual low altitude divergent outflow produced by the storm, demands an accurate retrieval of air and particle motions at essentially all altitudes within the storm. We found that existing approaches had deficiencies for our needs, and have developed an improved "hybrid" approach which attempts to provide high quality estimates throughout the storm volume.
