CAPPI

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004152

A radar display product that provides a Constant Altitude Plan Position Indicator, showing radar reflectivity at a specified constant altitude above ground level. This allows meteorologists to view precipitation intensity and distribution at a uniform height, removing ground clutter and improving the interpretation of weather phenomena. CAPPI displays are widely used in operational meteorology for weather surveillance.
