Radar RHI Display Controls
Overview

The RHI (Range-Height Indicator) display appears in the Main Display window and as a 2D plot in the Layer Controls tab. 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 button 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 RHI 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. The control window contains two tabs, Display and Settings.

The Display tab shows the RHI in 2D:
