Figure 3. Schematic diagram showing the effects of complex terrain on the interpretation of output from the hail detection algorithm. Circles in and just below the cloud represent hail and the dots represent rain. Note, in this example, no rain is reaching the ground. Distances shown pertain to the KMTX WSR-88D on Promontory Point north of Salt Lake City. The radar depicted at the base of the mountain is for illustration purposes only.
