Velocity

Velocity Dealiasing

Unfolds velocity that wraps past the Nyquist limit (e.g. a real +58kt gate reading as -6kt). Experimental — turn off if you see stray flipped range bins or beams.

Storm Relative Motion

Subtracts storm motion from base velocity to help reveal rotation and inbound/outbound couplets.
