Abstract
This paper describes the design and operation of a new weather radar intensity contouring device. This device accepts raw video information and averages these data in range and azimuth to obtain improved estimates of the mean echo intensity. The averaged video signal is then level sensed and encoded to produce a radar display with seven categories of precipitation intensity.
