Final answer:
This product is used to reveal the highest reflectivity in all echoes by measuring echo intensity (reflectivity) from different radar tilt angles in dBZ.
Step-by-step explanation:
This display is of maximum echo intensity (reflectivity) measured in dBZ from all four radar "tilt" angles, 0.5°, 1.45°, 2.40° and 3.35°. This product is used to reveal the highest reflectivity in all echoes.
When it comes to radar, dBZ (decibels of reflectivity) is often used to measure the intensity of the radar signal that is reflected back to the radar unit. The higher the dBZ value, the stronger the echoes are, which indicates higher reflectivity or precipitation. In this case, the display is showing the maximum echo intensity (reflectivity) measured in dBZ from different radar tilt angles.
By measuring reflectivity from different angles, it becomes possible to determine the highest reflectivity in all echoes. This information is valuable in understanding the intensity and distribution of precipitation in a particular area.
