Info

CC ADVANTAGES - Based on value of CC, you can infer a size distribution of hydrometeors. - Large values of CC indicate fairly uniform size and shape distribution of hydrometeors. - Slightly less large values of CC indicate more hydrometeor diversity and likely mixed phase precipitation. - Winter time applications with identification of “bright band”. - Lower values of CC usually indicate non-meteorological targets, although low CC can also indicate VERY large hail in some instances.
CC LIMITATIONS - Susceptible to data limitations of all radar products including range folding, beam attenuation, etc. - CC has not performed well in test mode for areas of weak reflectivity. Affected by low signal to noise ratios.
