Position Indicator
Figure 5 CAPPI Example Configuration
CAPPI is a horizontal cut at a selected altitude used for surveillance and severe storm
identification.
CAPPI requires a PPI volume scan at multiple elevation angles. The number of angles and
their spacing depends on the range and height of the CAPPI you want to produce.
CAPPI also supports calculation of SHEAR data. The configuration options are the same as
the SHEAR product, with choices of radial, azimuthal, and elevation shear.
