Can’t see much 10/85 displacement in E-W direction
10/85 displacement in N-S direction
For a hypothetical vertically erect column and when viewing the AMPR data in scan space (i.e. not mapping the coordinates), the 10 GHz will see the cloud at a scan closer to nadir while the 85 GHz will see the cloud at a scan farther from nadir. When viewing the data in mapped coordinates though, the locations of the signal (across-track) will be the same (for a perfectly erect column).
