Meteorological radars also use other antenna movement strategies for special applications and research. Sector scans are used to get part of an elevation cut. Sector volume scans perform a volume scan for a fraction of the 360º azimuth where the antenna takes multiple elevations cuts. 1, record 1, English, - sector%20volume%20scan

Les radars météorologiques utilisent aussi d’autres stratégies de mouvement de l'antenne pour des applications spéciales et la recherche. Les balayages sectoriels sont utilisés pour obtenir une partie de coupe à un angle d’élévation donné. Les balayages volumiques sectoriels consistent à effectuer un balayage volumique sur un intervalle d’angles d’azimut pour lesquels l'antenne produit plusieurs coupes à différents angles d’élévation. 1, record 1, French, - balayage%20volumique%20sectoriel
