TeachMeFinance.com - explain Layer Composite Reflectivity Maximum Layer Composite Reflectivity Maximum The term 'Layer Composite Reflectivity Maximum' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' This WSR-88D radar product displays the maximum reflectivities for a layer. Data is taken from all elevation angles contained in a given layer for each grid box. It is available for 3 layers (low, mid, high). Currently, the low layer extends from the surface to 24,000 feet, the mid layer extends from 24,000 feet to 33,000 feet, and high layer extends above 33,000 feet. It is used to aid in determining storm intensity trends by comparing mid level layer composite products with a low level elevation angle base reflectivity product and aid in routing air traffic'.
