Table 4 Thresholds of cell segment search

From: Thunderstorm identification algorithm research based on simulated airborne weather radar reflectivity data

Threshold

Meaning

Default value

Reflectivity(dBZ)

A set of minimum effective reflectivity which the reflectivity factor of a sample volume must meet or exceed to be included in a cell segment

25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55

Dropout reflectivity difference (dBZ)

The difference below threshold (reflectivity) in effective reflectivity that a sample volume may still be included in a cell segment

5

Dropout count(unit)

The maximum number of contiguous sample volumes with a reflectivity factor less than the threshold (reflectivity) by less than or equal to the threshold (dropout reflectivity difference) that may be included in a cell segment

2

Segment length (km)

Set of minimum lengths of a component for each reflectivity threshold
