Thin Line EchoA narrow elongated non-precipitating echo usually associated with thunderstorm outflow, fronts, or other density discontinuities. | |
Total beam overshootingTotal beam overshooting influences the range limit of a radar. The range limit depends on the elevation angle of the radar and cloud top height. Sitting the radar to place will give a lower elevation angle. Example Image | ||
Toward VelocityRadial component of velocity toward the antenna. By convection, toward velocities are expressed as negative values usually in meters per second. | |
