The colors represent wind moving radially towards (green) or away (red) from the radar. That's why intense tornado vortex signatures are characterized by intense greens/reds paired very closely together. The bolded term, "radially" is somewhat important in the definition.Can someone with more experience tell me what the velocity photo above is, like what the colors mean?
So what I posted above indicates rotation with the greens and the reds close together then? Is that correct?The colors represent wind moving radially towards (green) or away (red) from the radar.

If you don't know what it means, just think of the radar site as the center of a circle, and wherever I'm looking at a storm as a point within the circle, but not at the center. The radial direction is simply the direction straight from the center of the circle (the radar site) straight to the region of interest (in this case, the storm I'm analyzing on velocity).
