To remove the dots, tap the hamburger icon. The three lines. Scroll to Spotter Network and turn off the layer. If you’re not seeing anything on radar, you have either chosen the wrong radar site, or you may also have unselected the radar site. If I could post a screenshot I’d show you what I mean.

Recently downloaded the app, so this was very helpful sir, thanks! I have a few questions though: how can I find the gate to gate shear in a storm? Also, is there an option for Super Res velocity?
@ThunderChasers2 жыл бұрын
I find gate-to-gate wind shear by finding the highest and lowest wind velocities within a velocity couplet. so, if the radar is sampling -40kts away and 50kts towards, then that would be 90 kts gate-to-gate. Gates in radar terminology refer to the individual "pixels". I use quotes, because it isn't the same as the pixels on your monitor. It is simply the easiest way for me to explain it. Super-Res Velocity can be found under the lower-right hand menu where it will usually say, "Hi-Res Reflectivity". If you click that, a pop-over menu will display, and you can then choose which product you want to view. Hi-Res Velocity is the fourth item down the list, under the heading, "Velocity Products".
@ThunderChasers2 жыл бұрын
I should probably add, you would need to use the velocity product to view gate-to-gate shear. I may make a future video about how to read velocity data. Please let me know if this is something that would be of interest. :)

Unfortunately, that's not how it works. You'll get a tornado warning displayed when NWS issues one. But, if you want to know if there is a tornado, you have to know how to read the velocity data and/or the correlation coefficient. There is an algorithm that runs on the WSR-88D radars, that will show up as a tornado vortex signature icon. But it is notoriously unreliable. And I ignore it 100% of the time. We may do a video in the future on how to read the radar.
