Pseudo CAPPI attempts to visualize those parts within the radar range that are not measured with current settings.

Smoothing

Blends adjacent pixels closer together depending on their distance from each other.

Threshold

(BASE, TOPS, THICK)

Defines reflectivity threshold (dBZ) for the amount of data displayed in the image.
