Figure 2. - PPI plots of storm total SWE accumulation as obselVed by the KMPX radar on
November 20-21. 1996. The upper figure is based on SAA calculations uSing level II
reflectivities. and the lower ligure is based on Level III reflectivities. Range rings are
shown alSO, 100, and 150 km. A relationship of Z. = 200 SWE 2 0 was used with the
SAA.
