Technique
WSR-88D, or NEXRAD, Doppler radars scan at various elevations, creating a volume scan. This data can be manuniplated in a three-deminsional view by VIPIR. The result of this process is a three-dimensional image of the storm, which may be rotated and viewed from any angle. If imagery is zoomed in at an adequate range, actual weather satellite data can be superimposed.
VIPIR images can be constructed from multiple sources, including Doppler weather radar and NEXRAD. It is used by television meteorologists to give a comprehensive view of weather, in particular severe weather events.

Famous quotes containing the word technique:
“The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.”
—Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
“I cannot think that espionage can be recommended as a technique for building an impressive civilisation. It’s a lout’s game.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“A successful social technique consists perhaps in finding unobjectionable means for individual self-assertion.”
