Color on the reflectivity radar image represents the strength of the energy returned, measured in decibels (dBZ). As the dBZ increases, so does the rainfall rate. The National Weather service uses ...

The base reflectivity images in Precipitation Mode are available at four radar "tilt" angles, 0.5°, 1.45°, 2.40° and 3.35° (these tilt angles are slightly higher when the radar is operated in ...

Two weeks ago, I talked about an introduction to radar and how it works on a basic level. This time, we are looking into radar reflectivity specifically, the most popular product of weather radar ...

The technical term for sensing the different 3D shapes, or drop shape, is the radar's "differential reflectivity" and the values range from -7.9 to +7.9 decibels.

Stay tuned during March as we dive into radar’s crucial role […] advertisement. KFDX Wichita Falls. Radar School: ...

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - UAH confirmed chaff was the cause of high radar reflectivity, or the "blob" over West Huntsville Tuesday. They released a photo of what they said is fiberglass chaff found on ...
