andyhb Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 WER? Do you mean BWER, or is there a difference? Bounded means the stronger reflectivity wraps fully around the weak echo region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tornadotony Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 WER? Do you mean BWER, or is there a difference? Weak echo region vs. bounded weak echo region. WER is open somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
