NWS NEXRAD Level 3 Radar (Composite Reflectivity) with Storm Cell Tracking & LIGHTNING
|
|
The strongest returned energy for each elevation angle in a volume scan is compiled into one image called, simply, composite reflectivity. Whereas
the base reflectivity image is the first image available during a volume scan, the composite reflectivity image is one of the last views necessitated by
the need for all elevation scans to be completed before this image can be produced. Best at determing storm structure and strength.

NWS NEXRAD Level 3 Radar (Base Reflectivity) with Station Plots & LIGHTNING
|
|
Taken from the lowest (½°) elevation scan, base reflectivity is excellent for surveying the region around the radar to look for precipitation. However,
remember the radar beam increases in elevation as distance increases from the radar. This is due, in part, to the elevation angle itself but is more
because the earth's surface curves away from the beam.This can lead to underestimating the strength and intensity of distant storms.

NWS NEXRAD Level 3 Radar (Storm Relative) with Station Plots & LIGHTNING
|
|
When the motion of storms are subtracted from the wind field, the result is a picture of the wind as if the storms were stationary. As in the case of all
velocity images, red color indicates wind moving away from the radar with green color indicates motion toward the radar. (The radar is located in the
center of the image.) Small scale circulations, from which tornadoes often form, will typically be indicated by strong inbound wind located beside strong
outbound wind relative to the radar.
