Thunderstorm Identification Tracking Analysis and
Nowcasting (TITAN) permits the meteorologist to examine the
three-dimensional structure of cloud echoes in real time. Individual
echoes can be tracked and their motion projected through time.
Calculated parameters available in real time include the radar-estimated
rainfall, echo heights, echo time-height profile, history of echo volume,
area, precipitation flux, mass and vertically integrated liquid (vil).
When these parameters are combined with aircraft tracking, TITAN becomes a
valuable tool for cloud seeding operations and evaluations.
The figures below show examples of the TITAN display.
