Distance Learning Operations Course, Topic 3 Lesson 1 -- Figure 4: Example of incomplete beam filling

Figure 4. Illustration of incomplete beam filling (observation of the same core from two radars at different ranges)

Figure 4. Example of beam filling differences. Radar beam "A" is wider along the dotted line than beam "B". The result is incomplete beam filling for beam "A" and reflectivity less than 60 dBZ being displayed. Beam"B" is completely filled and 60 dBZ will be displayed at the range indicated by the dotted line.
