AB: In this work, we present a technique to extract horizontal strain rates as a function of height from data collected by a single Doppler radar. At each level, the strain is calculated using all data available within a radius of 80 km. Hence, they are representative of the overall mesoscale behavior of the convective region. We present results for the East Pacific obtained by applying this technique to data collected during EPIC-2001 by the Doppler radar on board the vessel Ronald H. Brown of the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration (NOAA).
