Description of Loops:

Composite Refl. - Loop of mosaicked composite reflectivity for a given case.
Refl. Count - Shows the number of times each grid cell in a given domain has an associated refl. value > 30 dBZ, over the entire time of a case. Each frame in the loop is a different Mosaic level (i.e., for Pam's AZ grid, Mosaic levels 10-18).
-20C - Comparison between SSA's identification of cells (at -20C temp. surface) and corresponding reflectivity field.
-40C - Comparison between SSA's identification of cells (at -40C temp. surface) and corresponding reflectivity field.
