NEXRAD Abnormalities
There are possible abnormalities regarding displayed NEXRAD images. Some, but
not all, of those include:
Ground clutter
Strobes and spurious radar data
Sun strobes, when the radar antenna points directly at the sun
Military aircraft deploy metallic dust (chaff) which can cause alterations in radar
scans
Interference from buildings or mountains, which may cause shadows
Poor reception from Ground Based Transceivers (GBTs) can cause portions of the
received radar imagery to not be displayed
NEXRAD Limitations
Certain limitations exist regarding the NEXRAD radar displays. Some, but not all, are
listed for the user’s awareness:
NEXRAD base reflectivity does not provide sufficient information to determine
cloud layers or precipitation characteristics (hail vs. rain). For example, it is not
possible to distinguish between wet snow, wet hail, and rain.
Radar base reflectivity is sampled at the minimum antenna elevation angle. An
individual radar site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges, and has
no information about storms directly over the site.
Radar coverage in Canada is only available in the southern 1/4 of the country.
neXrAD intensity
Colors are used to identify the different NEXRAD echo intensities (reflectivity)
measured in dBZ (decibels of Z). “Reflectivity” (designated by the letter Z) is the
amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. The dBZ values increase
as returned signal strength increases. Precipitation intensity is displayed using colors
corresponding to the dBZ values.
