Abstract

Improvements have been made in four aspects of grey scale CAPPI displays for weather radars. In order to improve continuity of the echo patterns across the boundary between adjacent CAPPI elements, the gaps between elements have been reduced. The grey scale equipment is now used in such a way that the no-signal areas of the cathode ray tubes do not produce any luminance. [...]
