Comparisons between wind measurement with doppler weather radar and wind measurement with rawinds in different weather situations is done. The study is made in a statistical way with some comparable parameters as outcome. The importance of the weather and different weather situation’s effect on the results are discussed, both in form of the winds accuracy and the probability of getting any wind at all as outcome. The study shows that wind measurement with doppler radar at lower elevations not has so good accuracy, but it becomes better the higher up we measure. At the same time will we lose a lot of the measurements at higher levels by the reason that the reflected power is weakened very fast with the distance the transmitted ray travel. The doppler effect is explained and the by SMHI used routine for wind measurement with radar is described. At the end of the work are some problems and disadvantages with the radar measurements and the used method discussed.
