TORP/AzShear for Sidelobe Event

A case of sidelobe contaminated velocity fields occurred around 1945 UTC (Thursday) in Ralls County, Missouri. TORP/AzShear algorithms were quick to initiate an object and jump towards near certain (>90%) values. The object remained for multiple volume scans until sidelobes disappeared. When “real” velocities emerged, TORP magnitudes dropped/went below threshold quickly.  -QLCS
