This occurs when there is radiation at a frequency near to the frequency of the radar beam. The most common situation where this occurs is when two beams from two identical radar platforms align. This pattern is commonly seen amongst the WSR-88D weather radars used by the NWS in the U.S. If one were to look at the radar towards the southwest from the location of 'XSM' and at the same time as the capture image. one should see a similar pattern, but with a direction towards the northeast from the location of the radar site. _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
