2. S-Pol summary
Filtering capabilities (no clutter filter)

3. Filtering
Legacy clutter filter
CMD processing

4. S-Pol summary
Insects Z
ZDR

5. S-Pol summary
Initiation along slopes, followed by rapid dissipation over higher terrain (e.g., 23 May)
Sea breeze initiation over coastal plain (e.g. 26 May)

6. S-Pol summary
Initiation along boundaries to S over ocean (e.g., 28 May)

7. 29 May 2008
Overlays of reflectivity (1.9º elevation angle) and topography from 0005, 0105, 0205, and 0250 UTC highlight echo along western slopes of terrain
Rain at S-Pol at 0200 UTC.

8. 29 May 2008
VIS (0530 UTC)
Notable W-E oriented line of convection to the W of S-Pol extending perpendicular from the coast. This boundary was also evident on satellite images for the previous 5 hours.
Radar reflectivity (0630 UTC)

9. 1730 UTC Line of cells over western slopes produced outflow boundary

Line of cells over western slopes produced outflow boundary

10. 30 May 2008
Used SuperSite scanning strategy for majority of day (included RHIs over this region) to focus on cells moving toward the terrain Z
ZDR

11. 30 May 2008 Most activity limited to NE of radar along western slopes
Continued development in this region for most of day, but most impressive cells >75 km away from S-Pol

12. UTC 30 May 2008
Precipitating features to south of S-Pol during early morning hours
RHIs and polarimetric variables reveal intense cores

13. RHIs (2309 UTC) Higher Zdr indicating larger drops Melting level
Graupel aloft, large melting drops below
Phase shift

14. 31 May 2008
0500 UTC
Indication of large-scale organization of precipitation
Cells over SuperSite
Continued surveillance scanning
How will system interact with terrain as day progresses?
