Wind-related weather hazards remain difficult to recognize targets for weather radars. Methods that use estimates of the width of the reflected-signal spectrum are able to improve the current situation. The main obstacle on this way is that the same width of the spectrum can be ensured by various phenomena, including non-dangerous ones. This leads to the ambiguity of the results obtained. Therefore, it is proposed to use a new parameter—the received-signal base equal to the product of the spectrum width and the correlation interval of the input signal. Theoretical calculations of the dependence of the signal base value on the degree of non-uniformity of the wind field, as well as the numerical simulation results, are given. The conclusion is made about the possibility of practical use of the developed method.
