This is the base reflectivity map, which the government-owned
National Climatic Data Center defines as:
base data: Those digital fields of reflectivity, mean radial velocity, and spectrum width data in
spherical coordinates provided at the
finest resolution available from the radar.
reflectivity: The measure of the efficiency of a target in intercepting and returning radio energy. With hydrometers it is a function of the
drop size distribution, number of particles per unit volume, physical state (ice or water), shape and aspect. A measure of the fraction of radiation
reflected by a given surface; defined as a ratio of the radiant energy reflected to the total that is incident upon the surface.
huh?
I dunno...if it were FUBAR'd, why is it showing the current hurricane pattern in FL?
dot.
p.s. no clouds above me, will update you at sunrise.
