1. Improved Estimates of Accumulated Precipitation

a. Selection of Z-R relationships
b. Combination of ZDR and KdP
c. Combination of ZDR, KdP, and Z-R
d. KdP alone

(Say some words about use in different regimes, climates, etc.)

2. Rain/Snow line or Rain/Mixed/Snow Depiction

a. Plan View
b. RCS View

3. Improved Estimates of Hail

a. Plan View for estimate of POH reaching ground
b. Plan View for estimate of POSH
c. Plan View for estimate of Hail Size
All three of these options could be presented as tabular data attached to a Hail Product, as is the case presently.

4. Depiction of Precipitation Type

a. Plan View of best estimate at the surface
b. Cross Section of best estimate of Precipitation Type through a thunderstorm

5. Improved estimates of Clutter and/or AP

a. Plan View of Depiction of clutter/AP

6. Estimates of Flora and Fauna and affects on Radar

a. Birds
b. Insects
c. Windborn Grass Etc.

7. Presentations of Morphology of Thunderstorms

8. Presentations of Morphology of Approaching Temperate Storms
