In this study, we develop an Atmospheric Motion Vector (AMV)-based method for retrieving wind vectors using 183.31 GHz water-vapor absorption channels. The method involves tracking water-vapor features from image triplets and subsequently deriving wind fields from motion vectors. The height of the d...
