        descriptor:  The longitudinal dilution of precision (DOPx) represents the contribution of the radars' configuration geometry to uncertainty in the eastward velocity estimate (u). DOPx is a direct multiplier of the standard error in obtaining the standard deviation for the eastward velocity estimate from the least squares best fit. DOPx and DOPy are commonly used to obtain the geometric dilution of precision (GDOP = sqrt(DOPx^2 + DOPy^2)), a useful metric for filtering errant velocities due to poor geometry.
