Distance Learning Operations Course, Topic 3 Lesson 1 -- Figure 21: VCP 121

Figure 21. Volume Coverage Pattern 121. Beam center heights can be found in the table accompanying Figure 11.

Figure 21. Volume Coverage Pattern (VCP) 121 samples nine elevation angles in about 5.75 minutes. The lowest two angles apply the SZ-2 technique as part of MPDA, the lowest five angles apply the MPDA technique, while 6.0 deg uses Batch (B), and the higher angles use Contiguous Doppler without range unfolding (CD/WO) mode.

The elevation angles are: 0.50, 1.45, 2.40, 3.35, 4.30, 6.00, 9.90, 14.6, and 19.5. The beamwidth is 0.95 deg.
