# LIMRAD94 - Eurec4a Heave Correction | ||
|
||
**Problem:** | ||
A Doppler cloud radar measures vertical fall velocities of hydrometeors. Due to the up and down movement of the | ||
RV-Meteor (the so called heave), those fall velocities have a systematic error corresponding to the heave rate. | ||
The heave rate or heave velocity is heave per second and thus has a unit of m/s. Another component is the roll and | ||
pitch induced heave. Since the radar was placed off center of the ship, the roll and pitch movements of the ship also | ||
induce a heave motion on the radar. | ||
|
||
**Solution:** | ||
Correct the mean Doppler velocity of each chirp by the heave rate, calculated from measurements of the heave by the | ||
RV-Meteor. To do this a python function called `heave_correction` is written. Because the correction is applied to each | ||
chirp, the function is called in LIMRAD94_to_Cloudnet_v2.py which calculates the radar moments from the measured Doppler | ||
spectra. | ||
|
||
## Step by Step | ||

### 1. Calculate heave rate for corresponding day | ||
