Radar rings from the Abbotsford radar / H.T. Beal, meteorologist.: En57-44/80-005E-PDF

"Last year the SCEPTRE-radar, i.e., System for Constant Elevataion Precipitation Transmission and Recording, became operational at Abbotsford. SCEPTRE is a radar ancillary system designed to provide quantitative precipitaion information for a given set of constant activities. ... Several months ago, as well as during the subsequent months, sets of sausage-like radar echoes were recorded on the display. The phenomena generally persisted for an hour. .. The formation of the 'radar-rings' will be explained, albeit roughly, in this note."
