AWIPS Display: WSR-88D Base Reflectivity Image AWIPS ingests all radar data products from NWS Louisville's WSR-88D Doppler radar. In addition, certain products from neighboring WSR-88D radars ingest automatically into AWIPS, while other radar products can be requested for display on the workstations. Overlays can be placed on the radar data in AWIPS, if desired. At left, an NWS Louisville WSR-88D base reflectivity image is shown. Scattered thunderstorms are evident over south-central Kentucky and across north-central Tennessee. Various graphics and map backgrounds can be overlaid on the data. The data also can be zoomed in several times and animated to allow better assessment of precipitation movement and intensity trends.
