Description:Doppler radar data were made available to the Denver WSFO beginning in April 1987. The data consisted of reflectivity and velocity PPI images at .2, .7, 1.8, 2.9 and 4.0 degree tilts which were derived from the NCAR CP-2 radar operating in an automatic volume scan mode. Also produced from the Doppler data were four NEXRAD algorithms. These algorithms were of storm identification, storm track, mesocyclone and hail/storm structure. All of the above were presented to the WSFO forecasters via the DAPPE workstations at 3, 6, and 10 minute intervals depending on the mode of operations; e.g., storm, convective surveillance or clear air. All radar data could be viewed with the full DAR^E capabilities, including zoom, roam, animation, and the ability to quickly change color enhancements. This suite of products is not the complete NEXRAD product set, and in particular is lacking any storm cross-section product or precipitation processing products. Nevertheless, this was a large difference for Denver which previously had only a remote KAVOURAS display of the Limon, Colorado WSR-57.
