Loading a SCAN Storm Cells Table

Purpose:

This task demonstrates how to launch a SCAN Storm Cells table in the D-2D perspective, and it requires deep convection and radar algorithm products (best done on WES-2 Bridge).

Tasks:

Assumptions:

  • There are radar algorithm products with deep convection
  1. From the SCAN menu, select one of your dedicated radars, then select Storm Cell/Site Storm Threat.                       Selecting the Storm Cell table from the SCAN menu
    • The SCAN xxxx CELL Table will launch along with loading SCAN information in the CAVE editor for the radar source you selected in the menu.
    • The CELL Table has radar algorithm output organized by the SCIT storm cell id.
  2. For the same radar you loaded SCAN for (note radar name in CELL Table), load a 0.5 Z+SRM8 product to provide some perspective in the CAVE editor.
    • The 0.5 Z+SRM8 data will load under the SCAN graphic in the CAVE editor.
    • To make the SCAN data more visible in the CAVE editor, you may wish to toggle to reflectivity using the “.” on the keypad and reduce the brightness of the radar data to 50% using Ctrl + I and adjusting the brightness slider.
  3. Task Complete!
