Note: More REAL results from T-REX can be found at NCAR REAL T-REX.
The following animation is a series of RHI (vertical) scans collected 02-03 March 2006 in the Owens Valley of California during the T-REX experiment. Evident from the animation is strong vorticity in the vertical plane (horizontal vorticity axis). Note: right is west and left is east (opposite of normal convention.)
