McIDAS-V can display Level II and Level III radar data. Radar display types include sweep views in 2- and 3- dimensions, cross sections, and isosurfaces. Multi-station composites can be made by overlaying images from adjoining stations. The remapping and overlaying capabilities of McIDAS-V make integrating radar data with other meteorological and geophysical data simple for even the novice user.<\/p>\n

The examples below demonstrate some of the capabilities of McIDAS-V with radar data. Click on the image to view a larger version. If applicable, a link to the example bundle is also provided for interactive use in McIDAS-V.<\/p>\n
