Processing and filtering of radar end-product composite reflectivity
This presentation will give a short summary on all the methods that are currently in use for giving clean and visually pleasant radar images for presentation on yr.no. Radar images are cleaned by identifying various clutter such as ground – and sea clutter, sun flare, RLAN, ship traffic and other spurious echoes. The ground clutter is important to not only identify, but to remove and replace with surrounding data, this greatly enhances nowcasting algorithms since the clutter is stationary in time.
