Abstract
Contour correction circuitry is provided for use in a weather radar which has iso-contour circuitry and which has a digital display having a tendency to undesirably not display the trailing edge boundary, for example, of a storm cloud. The correction circuitry is responsive to even a momentary signal indicating the close of a contour for forcing a contour boundary to appear on the digital display. The correction circuitry also enhances the texture of the radar when displaying snow flurries, ground returns, etc. which exhibit unique pattern characteristics.
