Begin Microphysical Scanning,
Switching to MicroFar90: Shortly
after dissipation of multicellular storm to SE
(Case 32), new cells popped up to the NE of S-Pol.
The main storm is only a small decaying
stratiform region so it seems valid to leave it out of the 90deg sector. 0415Z, Base reflectivity

0430

Switched
to microfar135 to capture the stratiform region within the sector, and to get
some RHIs through the cells at 78 and 79 degrees 0430Z, Base reflectivity
|
|
0445
Z |
This
sequence took RHIs through 66 and 67degrees to
slice the main cores. 0445Z, Base reflectivity
|
|
0515
Z |
This
sequence took RHIs through 73 and 74 degrees. The
convection seems to be dying so will probably switch to climofar
for the next sequence. 0515Z, Base reflectivity

End Microphysical Scanning, Switching
to ClimoFar: Disappointing development. |
