THE 3 MARCH 2019 CASE FOR AZSHEAR – #2

Looking at the 0-2km merged AzShear product, my attention was drawn to the line stretching to the SW of the KMXX radar. While I see utility in using this product more for SA, the SAILS artifact of not having the images lined up properly could lead to false interrogations of what’s actually occurring. In this first image (below), the wind field is apparent. In the second image, it looks like the wind field has separated. In the last image, it’s very clear that a slice being merged into the product shows the wind field significantly separated.
