Radar Isosurface Controls
Overview

Displays of Level II isosurfaces are controlled by the Isosurface controls. The Radar Isosurface display type allows for visualizing radar data in the 3D, including all elevation angles, at specific data values. An example of when this display type can be useful is for looking for only very high reflectivity values that may coincide with a hail spike. WSR-88D Level II Radar data has three moments or data types: Reflectivity, Radial Velocity, and Spectrum Width, indicated by the Level II Radar moment icon icon in the Field Selector. WSR-88D Dual Pole radar includes these three moments, as well as DifferentialReflectivity, CorrelationCoefficient, and Differential Phase. In order for Radar Isosurface to be listed as a valid Display Type in the Field Selector, one of the moments (ex. Reflectivity, RadialVelocity, etc.) must be chosen in the Fields panel, not one of their individual elevation angles.
