VCP 11

VCP 12

14 slices in 5 min

14 slices in 4.1 min

VCP 21

9 slices 6 min

good enough for long range severe storms

long dwell time

VCP 31

VCP 32

5 slices and 10 min for both

Longer Pulse

22kt or less

increased sensitivity, but reduced range resolution and lower PRF

a shorter pulse and a higher PRF

Increased Nyquist

Mitigate range folding and velocity aliasing
