THE METHOD OF PROVIDING, ON A TWO-DIMENSIONAL MAP, A VISUAL DISPLAY OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL DATA REPRESENTATIVE OF THE HEIGHT, WIDTH AND DEPTH OF A STORM, WHICH METHOD COMPRISES THE STEPS OF RADIATING PULSES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY BOTH IN AZIMUTH AND ELEVATION, RECEIVING SIGNALS REFLECTED FROM SAID STORM, GENERATING VIDEO BOUNDARY PULSES OF SAID STORM FROM SAID RECEIVED REFLECTED SIGNALS, GENERATING HEIGHT MARKER PULSES IN PREDISPOSED RELATIONSHIP TO THE TIME OF SAID RADIATED PULSES, SAID HEIGHT MARKER PULSES REPRESENTING THE EXPECTED TIME OF ARRIVAL OF THE REFLECTED SIGNALS FROM PRESELECTED HEIGHTS, AND THE FURTHER STEP OF SELECTING FOR RECORDING ONLY THOSE VIDEO BOUNDARY PULSES THAT OCCUR AT ONE OF THE HEIGHT LEVELS CORRESPONDING TO ONE OF SAID HEIGHT MARKER PULSES.
