Another example of AzShear and TORP being good situational awareness tools

Just wanted to show a case of weak rotation that TORP and AzShear handled well. This was also in a broken line, which I have seen TORP struggle in. Not sure why it handled this situation as well as it did.

Here you can see how this weak rotation in velocity can be overlooked at first if there is a lot going on on radar. You can also see though how there is  a TORP object and it has been tracking it for a bit, all while the rotation is very weak:

Here is AzShear at the same time:

As you can see it may get your attention more than the velocity signature would.

 

Now stepping forward in time, you can see a better couplet in velocity along with a bright AzShear signature and a clover signature in DivShear. This is when we decided to warn. Probably would have warned with just seeing the velocity signature, but AzShear, DivShear and TORP definitely helped nudge us and get the warning out quicker.
