Abstract
The areal height and areal reflectivity of source data for defining a landmass are modified in real time in response to the areal reflectivity of the source data, so that the modified values may be processed for generating radar images to be displayed. The images may include stationary three-dimensional features, useful for a high resolution radar, without need to preprocess data or increase bulk storage medium size of landmass data. In addition, the features, which may include industrial, forestial, commercial and/or residential areas, and/or specific detail such as a predetermined airport, may be predeterminedly disposed within a landmass area more realistically to present an image that is to be expected from an actual operating environment.
