In the second part of Radar School, Meteorologist John Cameron explains what exactly those colors and blobs on the map mean ...

Imagine having to do your job, but not being able to visually process the data right in front of you. Nearly 8% of genetic ...

The base reflectivity images in Precipitation Mode are available at four radar "tilt" angles, 0.5°, 1.45°, 2.40° and 3.35° (these tilt angles are slightly higher when the radar is operated in ...

The image above shows what you typically see from radar. “Reflectivity” basically shows how much stuff the radar is picking up. Light rain bounces back a small return, heavy rain a larger ...

Color on the reflectivity radar image represents the strength of the energy returned, measured in decibels (dBZ). As the dBZ increases, so does the rainfall rate. The National Weather service uses ...

Two weeks ago, I talked about an introduction to radar and how it works on a basic level. This time, we are looking into radar reflectivity specifically, the most popular product of weather radar ...

Consumer products smooth the radial image creating a more aesthetic, but less detailed map. PYKL3 Radar shows true base reflectivity, with accurate, blocky pixels. Putting It to the Test . I chose the ...

When the radar is in precipitation mode, the range of dBZ values displayed can be as low as 5 to a maximum of 75, whereas clear-air mode offers a range from -28 to +28.

The Wyoming Cloud Radar (WCR) is an airborne polarimetric Doppler radar operating at W-band (94.94 GHz). Up to 4 antennas are employable and can be configured to observe targets above and below the ...

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - UAH confirmed chaff was the cause of high radar reflectivity, or the "blob" over West Huntsville Tuesday. They released a photo of what they said is fiberglass chaff found on ...

The Current Radar map shows areas of current precipitation (rain, mixed, or snow). The map can be animated to show the previous one hour of radar ...
