The radar volume scan controls are used to show a radar volume as a series of nested cones. WSR-88D Level II Radar data has three moments or data types: Reflectivity, Radial Velocity, and Spectrum Width, indicated by the 
icon in the Field Selector. WSR-88D Dual Pole radar includes these three moments, as well as DifferentialReflectivity, CorrelationCoefficient, and Differential Phase. In order for Radar Cross Section to be listed as a valid Display Type in the Field Selector, either Reflectivity, RadialVelocity, or SpectrumWidth must be chosen, not one of their individual elevation angles.
