Using WSR-88D Polarimetric Data to Identify Bird-Contaminated Doppler Velocities

Figure 7

Infrared images from GOES-14 at 084500 UTC (upper panel) and 091500 UTC (lower panel) on 30 September 2012 over Kansas State and its neighboring states. The state boundaries are plotted in purple. The three cyan circles plot the 50, 100, and 200 km  range rings cocentered at the KICT radar site (shown by the cyan dot). The dark areas show relatively warm brightness temperature remotely sensed from the ground, indicating clear sky over each dark area. The green areas highlight cloud tops colder than 240°K (≈−30°C around 7 km  height).
