Storm relative mean radial velocity regi
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-002650
(SRR): This WSR-88D radar product depicts a 27
nm by 27 nm region of storm relative mean radial velocity centered on a point which the operator
can specify anywhere within a 124 nm radius of the radar. The storm motion subtracted defaults to
the motion of the storm closest to the product center, or can be input by the operator. It is used to
examine the 3-dimensional storm relative flow of a specific thunderstorm (radar operator centers
product on a specific thunderstorm; aid in displaying shear and rotation in thunderstorms and
storm top divergence that might otherwise be obscured by storm motion; and gain higher
resolution velocity product
