Reflectivity and vertical velocity as measured by the
McGill UHF Wind Profiler radar over the last 24 hours.
The horizontal axis is Eastern Standard Time, and the vertical axis is
altitude in kilometres.
This image is updated approximately 10 minutes after each hour.
The radar points vertically and gets echos from rain, snow, turbulence,
insects and birds overhead.
The vertical velocities are found by measuring the Doppler shift of the echoes.
The reflectivities are the rain-equivalent reflectivities and
are derived from mean SNR levels of the samples included in the
velocity data.

This data is passed to NOAA in the U.S. for inclusion in the data archives of
their
profiler network.
The previous hours data files can be viewed in NOAA consensus format,
