Short summary
This paper presents a novel methodology for radar data processing, the path-Columnar Vertical Profile, or pCVP, based on the EVP/CVP (enhanced/column vertical profile) method. pCVP utilizes vertical profiles from EVP/CVP, but in the height vs. location format at a single volume time along the arbitrary path instead of the height vs. volume time format at a single location, as in EVP/CVP.
