SCIT Markers
The white boxes outlined in pink or orange are Storm Cell Identification and Tracking
(SCIT) markers. These identify the position of potentially dangerous storms. XM WX
Satellite Weather displays two types of SCIT markers: Shear Storm markers, which
have orange outlines, and Severe Storm markers, which have pink outlines. Shear SCIT
markers are generated when high wind shear is detected. This is identified when
inbound and outbound winds are located directly next to each other and exceed a
threshold of 50 knots.
Severe Storm SCIT markers are generated based on the presence of several factors
including maximum rain rate, hail presence, and hail size. Touch a box to see details
about the storm. Shear SCIT displays the speed of wind shear and the storm width,
while Severe Storm SCIT displays the maximum reflectivity, the height of maximum
reflectivity, the projected size of hail suspended in the cell, the storm’s movement, and
the storm’s width.
