Radar and lidar products
Weather products are visualizations of weather data gathered from various sources and processed to provide relevant information about weather conditions. Radar products are based on data gathered from weather radars, and lidars products are based on data gathered from Vaisala WindCube Scan Lidars
| On-demand products |
On-demand products are generated and displayed directly by IRIS Focus in real time once requested by the users. They are based on raw data received from the device software. On-demand products provide control over the presentation of weather data in the IRIS Focus user interface. For example, you can change the parameter threshold of a selected product on the fly. IRIS Focus users can create composites of on-demand products by selecting multiple radar/lidar sites from the site selector. |
| Pre-generated products |
Pre-generated products are configured and produced in IRIS Analysis and displayed by IRIS Focus on user's request. |
Both on-demand and pregenerated products can be used to create weather events and alerts.
For information on the algorithms used to process the raw signal data from weather radars, see IRIS and RDA Dual-polarization User Guide (M211452EN) and RVP10 User Guide (M212604EN).
