The constant altitude plan position indicator, better known as CAPPI, is a radar display which gives a horizontal cross-section of data at constant altitude. It has been developed by McGill University in Montreal by the Stormy Weather Group [1] to circumvent some problems with the PPI: Altitude changing with distance to the radar.
#1 the fuchsia colored region, visible on the composite image, is all but missing on the base reflectivity #2 and #3, show more rain supported by strong updrafts. The composite reflectivity is the maximum dBZ reflectivity from any of the reflectivity angles of the NEXRAD weather radar. In the Composite, the highest intensities amongst those ...

It was part of the Canadian weather radar network, [5] used by the local weather office to monitor weather in real time for a variety of applications, from severe weather detection to sewer flow forecasting. It was replaced by a new S-Band radar, owned by the Meteorological Service of Canada and situated in Blainville, Quebec, on October 1 ...
