Animation of Hohenpeissenberg radar reflectivity cross sections (C-band)

This animation displays radar reflectivity cross sections (dBZ) obtained from range height indicator scans plotted over latitude and for altitudes between 0 km and 10 km in a two-minute interval during a one-hour flight above Southern Germany in the scope of the CIRRUS-HL campaign. Data were provided by the MOHp from the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). The orange vertical line marks the LMU radar station that was overpassed during this flight as well. The gray line marks the HALO-aircraft flight path and the black line HALO’s position one min before the cross section is depicted.
