The color of each vector of the horizontal wind depends upon its speed following :
0 m/s =< V < 10 m/s = > black 10 m/s =< V < 15 m/s = > dark green 15 m/s =< V < 20 m/s = > green 20 m/s =< V < 25 m/s = > blue-green 25 m/s =< V < 30 m/s = > blue 30 m/s =< V < 35 m/s = > light blue 35 m/s =< V < 40 m/s = > purple 40 m/s =< V < 45 m/s = > pink 45 m/s =< V < 50 m/s = > red 50 m/s =< V < 55 m/s = > brown 55 m/s =< V < 60 m/s = > dark brown 60 m/s =< V < 65 m/s = > orange 65 m/s =< V < 70 m/s = > yellow 70 m/s =< V < 75 m/s = > light gray 75 m/s =< V < 80 m/s = > mean gray 80 m/s =< V < 85 m/s = > dark gray
During the continuous measurements by the radar, each image covers a 3 day period, the last day of which corresponds to the date indicated in the image list of the previous page. During the starting periods of measurements, the corresponding image may cover only 1 or 2 days ending at the date indicated in the image list.
Since the beginning of 2002, the images are in the PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format and red isolines of the vertical velocity (1., 2. et 3. m/s in full lines and -1., -2. et -3. in dashed lines) are overlaid over the horizontal wind vectors.
