3. Configuring IRIS Products
3.1 Configuring Products
IRIS Radar products provide information that can be used directly for weather nowcasting
and forecasting. You configure the products in IRIS Radar.
IRIS products can display radar data in many ways. For example:
• The CAPPI product shows the distribution of a radar parameter, such as reflectivity or
spectrum width, at a constant altitude.
• The TOPS product shows a color contour map of the height of a selected reflectivity
surface.
• The RAIN1 and RAINN products show the accumulation of precipitation over selectable
time periods.
• The WARN product checks other IRIS products to determine if there is significant
weather, such as wind shear greater than a threshold amount.
Each product is associated with a configured task. Tasks collect information from signal
processors and store the data on disk in ingest files.
For more information, see IRIS Radar User Guide.
