In addition to the figures available in the thesis, 12-h synoptic radar summaries from the winter season of 1997 (January through March) will be shown here. Two dominant radar regimes in which significant radar returns were observed have been classified into "post-frontal" and "pre-frontal" categories. Unique and interesting images will also be shown such as a case of chaff, strong canyon/downslope winds, etc.
