FIG. 11. Plan view (PPI) of echoes from the SHR 5-cm radar at (a) 1905, (b) 1930. The advection of seeding material from the aircraft release points, using 2020 at 14.6 m s -I and a dispersion
of I m S-l, is superimposed on the PPls. The three.letter identifiers indicate the location of precipitation gauges. Azimuth lines and a 4 min segment from the track of the research aircraft are
also shown,
