Dave, have a look at the 2130Z Avbrief image, my guess is it won't be
showing the precip. in the eastern English Channel which is being picked
up on the continental radar and being added to displays that use that
data, i.e the MetO ones. It would appear to me that the Chenies radar is
probably
overshooting the precip. It's not a fault, just the way it is.

Jon.


In saying that I'm not completely happy with the data Chenies is
providing and it will be investigated.

Jon.

Thanks Jon, I think it's the fact that things have changed that flags
the problem. Even though it may be fixed for the Met Office by adding
Continental radar, that isn't so far helping the Met Office's direct
(avbrief etc.) and indirect (me!) customers to see what's happening in
the Eastern Channel and Straits of Dover

You're right about the 2130Z Avbrief image. I've grabbed and uploaded
it together with the Met Office image for the same time; here they

I agree, Dave. Whilst there are possible technical reasons (such as an
overshooting beam) for the missing returns in the eastern Channel I
wouldn't expect the difference between the Chenies and Abbeville radars
to be as marked as they currently are. The IT experts are onto it and
I'll speak to the Radarnet team next week. Thanks for highlighting it.
