Rezumat	The Velocity-Azimuth Display (VAD) is a radar analysis technique that extracts the radial velocity of wind at a constant altitude as a function of azimuth angle around the radar. By fitting a sinusoidal pattern to these measurements, VAD retrieves the mean wind speed and direction at that altitude, providing wind profiles without requiring multiple radar observations.	The thermal wind relationship is a fundamental meteorological principle that links vertical wind shear to horizontal temperature gradients. It states that wind speed increases with height in the direction of warming—a direct consequence of hydrostatic and geostrophic balance combined with the ideal gas law.	The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is a mesoscale atmospheric simulation system used for weather forecasting, research, and climate applications. Developed cooperatively by NCAR, NOAA, and academic institutions, WRF became operational in 2004 and has become one of the most widely used atmospheric models worldwide.
