The Community Doppler Lidar Simulation Model (DLSM)

Platform and DWL Shot Coverage


There are three coverage graphic options available: Satellite Track (platform coverage), DWL Shot Coverage or a combined graphic for Satellite Track and DWL Shot Coverage. 

A Satellite Track (platform coverage) example is shown below.

A DWL Shot Coverage example is shown below.

A Satellite Track and DWL Shot Coverage example is shown below.

In the next example, the user is going to graph a Satellite and DWL Shot Coverage data on top of an ECMWF T213 atmospheric field.  First, a horizontal graph of High Cloud Fraction is created (see Horizontal Plane Atmospheric Graphics), then the user plots the Satellite and DWL Shot coverage on top of the Atmospheric field. Also shown In the example is a 200% zoom centered on Africa to look closer at the potential shot coverage over high level cloud fields.
