First Tests of Vertical Profile Usage INDEX  Input Data

Mean Vertical Profile Algorithm

  • Spherical volume data are recalculated into Carthezian PPIs (2x2 km) using bilinear interpolation in azimuth and range
  • Local profiles are calculated with vertical step 0.5 km (1, 1.5, ..., 14 km) using linear interpolation between Carthesian PPIs
  • Local profiles used for averaging:

    • Distance 30-80 km from radar
    • Z max_in_vertical_column > 0 dBZ

  • Averaging in mm/h (Z = 200R 1.6 )
