A simple and successful design of algorithms using parametric and non‐parametric techniques for spectral cleaning and estimation of the atmospheric radar signal is presented. With these algorithms, signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) of the radar returns could be improved and the Doppler frequency could be predicted even at greater heights and under severe weather conditions. The predicted results are compared with the conventional techniques and good improvement is reported. Copyright © 2004 Royal Meteorological Society
