Free Base Velocity Radar

Referred to as a base angle.

Free base velocity radar.

These aren t smoothed png or gif images this is native radar data rendered in its original radial format for a high level of detail. Radarscope is a specialized display utility for weather enthusiasts and meteorologists that allows you view nexrad level 3 and super resolution radar data along with tornado severe thunderstorm flash flood and special marine warnings and predicted storm tracks issued by the u s. It can display the latest reflectivity velocity dual polarization and other products. Distance from radar lat lon of selected location.

Radarscope is a specialized display utility for weather enthusiasts and meteorologists that allows you view nexrad level 3 and super resolution radar data along with tornado severe thunderstorm flash flood and special marine warnings and predicted storm tracks issued by the u s. This elevation gives the name base x to many radar products where x is one of many products such as reflectivity or velocity. The yellow dot in the center of the image is the radar s location. When radar finishes scanning in 360 degrees at one elevation angle it tilts up to the next elevation angle and scans 360 degrees at that angle too.

Radarscope is a specialized display utility for weather enthusiasts and meteorologists that allows you view nexrad level 3 and super resolution radar data along with tornado severe thunderstorm flash flood special marine and snow squall warnings and predicted storm tracks issued by the u s. It is useful for determining areas of strong wind from downbursts or detecting the speed of cold fronts. However since the radar only measures radial velocity the strength of the wind will always be less than what is actually occurring unless the wind is moving directly toward or away from the radar. The base velocity image shows mainly green colors.

Just judging from the base velocity image it might appear that there is only a strong inbound motion of gusty wind produced by the thunderstorm. The local radar base reflectivity product. Distance from selected location. This is the same as the base radial velocity but with the mean.

The data for all 45 tdwrs is now available in real time via a free. Product description base reflectivity is the most basic of all nexrad products and can be used to illustrate some fundamental principles. Radar operates by sending out a radio wave pulse that will interact with objects and reflect some portion of that signal back to the radar reciever. Recall from base reflectivity the notch in the precipitation pattern at 2.

It can display the latest reflectivity velocity dual polarization and other products. National radar mosaic.
