Composite reflectivity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The composite reflectivity is the maximum dBZ reflectivity from any of the reflectivity angles of the NEXRAD weather radar. The reflectivity angles show the precipitation intensity at that specific angle above the horizon. Some of these angles are .5,1.45,2.4, and 3.35 degrees with the Doppler radar having up to 14 angles when it's in Severe Mode. The highest intensities at every angle will be displayed in the composite reflectivity.
