<br />Analyses routinely produced by the initial UND processing include <br />microfiche copies of composite Plan Position Indicator (PPI) volume <br />scans showing maximum reflectivity (dBZ) values within each range bin <br /> <br />(500 m wide by 10) and maximum echo-top height (km MSL). Fig. 2.4 <br />shows an example of the composite CAPPI information (Osborne and Dodd, <br />1983) on hay 27, 1979, at 2354 GMT. <br /> <br /> <br />~ <br />. :0,;'; () <br /> <br />.
