Observation data at 2.1 km height derived from CAPPI observation (GIF format)

2016-07-21 18:20:00

The two-dimensional plot of rain cloud distribution estimated from the X-band weather radar at Kototabang in West Sumatra, Indonesia (0.20S, 100.32E, 865m MSL), which has been operated since September 23, 2002. This plot shows a spatial distribution of reflective energy flux from rain clouds at 2.1 km height within a 30 km circular region at the center of radar location. The unit of reflective energy flux is dBZ. File names are composed of (year)(month)(day).(hour)(minute)(second).gif. Local time (UT + 7h) is used for time data.

If you acquire X-band radar data, we ask that you acknowledge us in your use of the data. This may be done by including text such as X-band radar data provided by Shimane University and Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere (RISH) of Kyoto University. We would also appreciate receiving a copy of the relevant publications.
