RHI scan from the Chilbolton radar dataset. (See the colour version of this figure in Colour Plate section.)
(Fig. 8.5), an S-band (9.75-cmwavelength) weather
radar developed to study the effects of rain on
communication systems (Goddard et al.1994).
The objectivewas to obtain a set of rules to classify
pixels of vertical reflectivity profile images as
being either snow, rain or bright band (Fig. 8.6)

Classification of scan in Figure 8.5 using the LID3 algorithm. Light blue indicates rain, green indicates snow,
and red indicates bright band. (See the colour version of this figure in Colour Plate section.)
