Distance Learning Operations Course, Topic 3 Lesson 1 -- Figure 23: VCP 212

Figure 23. Volume Coverage Pattern 212. Beam center heights can be found in the table accompanying Figure 11.

Figure 23. Volume Coverage Pattern (VCP) 212 samples nine elevation angles in about 4.5 minutes. The lowest three angles apply the SZ-2 technique, while 1.8-6.4 uses Batch (B), and the higher angles use Contiguous Doppler without range unfolding (CD/WO) mode.

The elevation angles are: 0.50, 0.90, 1.30, 1.80, 2.40, 3.10, 4.00, 5.10, 6.40, 8.00, 10.0, 12.5, 15.6, and 19.5. The beamwidth is 0.95.
