What is migration velocity?

Migration velocity, also known as radial migration velocity or ground clutter migration velocity, is a phenomenon that occurs when radar signals reflect from moving ground clutter or stationary targets. When the radar antenna is scanning or the platform (such as an aircraft or ship) carrying the radar is moving, these ground clutter echoes can appear to be displaced or shifted in frequency due to the relative motion between the clutter and the radar platform.
