FIVIM is a weather radar of Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), listed as Vimpeli, in Southern Ostrobothnia, Finland. The antenna stands 200 m above sea level. Älajärvi lies 12 km south of the antenna.
Alerua reads the radar's own volume files from FMI's open data (CC BY 4.0), and the antenna position above comes from those files. The loop carries Reflectivity, composite reflectivity, echo tops, vertically integrated liquid, velocity, correlation coefficient, differential reflectivity, spectrum width.
Radar shows rain, snow and hail, not cloud, and nothing below its lowest beam; far from the antenna the beam passes high above the ground.
