Real-time cloud radar images: Doppler spectraRadar reflectivity factor Vertical velocity Spectral width Doppler spectra Lidar backscatter coefficientLatest Latest boundary layer Today Yesterday Archived images How to interpret these images Chilbolton Weather Web Vertical Profiles of radar Doppler spectra - coded and uncodedTwo plots are shown here -1. Radar spectra using pulse coding for improved sensitivity - note that in strong reflectivity gradients the coding can produce artifacts; 2. Uncoded spectra for comparison: less sensitive to clouds with low Z, but no artifacts.
These plots are updated once every hour.
These images are generated every 60 minutes from data recorded by the 35-GHz cloud radar at Chilbolton, using programs written by Owain Davies, Robin Hogan, Darcy Ladd and Gareth Davies. For more information contact Robin Hogan. |
