I didn't want to bring that post back up, but it's also a complex display mentioned in the last week.

I finally got around to adding it to my site and wanted to look into it more to describe it better. This was what I added to my site about it. Some of it CypressTX already posted about in the past. I wanted to know where velocity data was, and how it works, so I finally looked into it a little. It's all quite complex but I know which product it is now. It's hard to describe something when I don't really know how it all works.
This display has a variety of product types you can display on an interactive map. It has a lot of advanced features. You can learn about the MRMS project here and here (where you can find an experimental version of the display as well). For an in-depth look at some of the features in the display you can review the product guide here. It's very detailed in its explanations of various features in the display. For each product page you have tabs you can click. ("Overview", "Strengths & Limitations" and "Applications & Examples") The "Applications & Examples" tab contains example images that are helpful. Many of the products in this display are very advanced, mostly for meteorologists, but you can find some of the basic radar features at the top of the product list.
You can also choose to view radar data from the past week. This display also includes radars from Canada.
Velocity data can be found under the "Rotation" product type, which may also be called "Azimuthal Shear" in the display. You can read about it here in the product guide. It works differently than the velocity data you may be used to viewing for a single-radar site. You can also view an interactive MRMS Velocity-Based Products Course for information about how it works. There are other online courses on the MRMS display here. A PDF file here also has information about how the velocity product is created in the multi-radar display. |
