Velocity - shows wind speeds. Red is positive.. Winds coming to the radar. Green is negative and heading away from radar. I might be flipping those.

Quite often I flip between close radar sites to get the best view of the storms because can be a lot of noise especially with hail.

Correlation coefficient. This is the one I don't like looking at. You are looking for a change in color such as blue blocks near the storm. If there is stuff being thrown in the air, this is where you see it.. And can confirm a tornado on the ground.

Vertically integrated liquid... Shows hail and hail size.

Can break down lots more latter
Used to be able to get the different types of velocity radars on the NWS site but they cut that out..
