Table 5 Attributes of the cell segment
Attribute | Meaning | Attribute | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
Azimuth (°) | The azimuthal position of a cell segment | Elevation (°) | Angle of the elevation scan |
RSbeg (km) | The slant range to the beginning (the front of the first sample volume) of a cell segment | RSend (km) | The slant range to the end (the back of the last sample volume) of a cell segment |
MWL (kg/km2) | Mass weighted length, the mass density-weighted length of a cell segment | MaxRef (dBZ) | The maximum (average) reflectivity factor of a cell segment |
MWLS (kg/km) | Mass weighted length squared, the mass density-weighted length squared of a cell segment | Threshold (reflectivity) (dBZ) | The minimum effective reflectivity which the reflectivity factor of a sample volume must meet or exceed to be included in a cell segment |
