Weather DictionaryWeather Dictionary
- A radar scanning strategy in which sweeps are made at successive antenna elevations (i.e., a tilt sequence ), and then combined to obtain the three-dimensional structure of the echoes. Volume scans are necessary to determine thunderstorm type, and to detect features such as WERs , BWERs , and overhang .
